Thomas W. Budd
Professor and Chair of Biology

“I get more enthusiastic about St. Lawrence every day,” says biology professor Tom Budd. “We’re doing a very good job in terms of our academic mission: ‘to provide an inspiring and demanding undergraduate education in the liberal arts to students selected for their seriousness of purpose and intellectual promise.’”

In 2003-04, Budd taught an introductory course in cell biology, and various research methods courses in three different types of microscopy. He also taught a research methods course in biochemistry.

In spring 2004, Budd completed his 33 rd year as a faculty member at St. Lawrence, and his ninth as biology department chair. He says he is looking forward to being a faculty director for Phase 1 of the new science facilities project, a multi-phase construction project scheduled to begin next spring. “I’m extremely excited about the project,” says Budd. “We’re working with some very talented professionals. It will be a big boost to the science departments, especially our newer programs such as neuroscience and biochemistry.”

“I think St. Lawrence has a very bright future,” says Budd.
