When Ezekiel Herrera-Bevan ’21 walked into the Old Growth Beech Forest on VWU’s campus, he had no idea how that environment would change his perspective on biology, ecology, his future plans, and bats. His undergraduate research project focused on bat community ecology in two environments, one artificially lit and the other in the Beech Forest. To support his research, Ezekiel applied for and received an undergraduate research grant and, in summer 2020, the VFIC Undergraduate Science Research Fellowship. Both grants provided support to fund equipment critical to the success of the research and were made possible by The Excellence Fund.
When you give to the Excellence Fund, you help fund multiple undergraduate research opportunities, like Ezekiel’s.
