Alma’s innovative PRISM project—Positive Routes Into Science and Mathematics—gets more students excited about science. It engages students in research opportunities not only in their first, second, third and fourth years of college but also in the summer prior to taking their first college course. PRISM is funded by a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.
Faculty Profile
Dr. Mark Oemke
Departments: Biology
Mark Oemke grew up catching frogs and crayfish, sparking an interest in the water systems of Michigan.
“I find the uniqueness of aquatic plants and animals very interesting as their adaptations to life in the water are often quite extraordinary,” the assistant professor of biology says. “I am always finding something new to investigate and the questions are never answered.”
