Kerri Sevenbergen has been at 国产剧麻豆剧 since 2000, when she first joined the biology and chemistry departments as an adjunct professor. In 2003, she was hired as a full-time instructor and lab manager for those departments. In 2014, in response to the growth of both departments, Sevenbergen became a full-time faculty instructor and lab manager solely for the biology department. In addition to her responsibilities as biology lab manager, she uses her background in general biology and ecology/marine biology to teach Biology 1003 (Introductory Biology for non-science majors). She also previously taught various marine and ecology courses for both the biology undergraduate and graduate programs.
