Fungi - the familiar and unfamiliar ˿Ƶ Tech Portland-Metro's BIO211 Fungi lab collected an impressive diversity of fungi last week. Some were collected by Assistant Professor Hugh Jarrard in Tryon Creek and on campus, and some were brought in by students. The biggest ones they found were in the campus parking lot 50 yards from their classroom! After the lab was over, Dr. Jarrard moved all of the specimens to the lobby of the building so that the ˿Ƶ Tech community could enjoy them.

Professor Sharon Beaudry has taught at ˿Ƶ Tech for 10 years. Sharon has taught a wide range of business classes from Business Law to Intro to Databases. Besides the students and her colleagues, one of Sharon’s favorite things about being a faculty member at ˿Ƶ Tech is being about to create her own research pathway; which has enabled her to develop expertise around “learning space design and research”.
