The WU Football Game tomorrow, Saturday, Sep 5th, has been changed to 9:00 AM. Because of the time change and the expected hot temperatures, the biology department will not host a tailgate this Saturday. Dr. Mullican will still be at the tailgate spot to watch the game and visit with folks who stop by. We'll set up the next tailgate on Family Day, Saturday, September 19th! Stay tuned ...
