What is CPUB?

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania University Biologists (CPUB) was founded in 1973 as an organization to provide support for the teaching and research activities of faculty in the biological sciences. Its activities have included scientific meetings, symposia and institutes for the enhancement of the professional development of its members and associates. It also provides a forum for graduate and undergraduate students' presentation of their research.

Who belongs to CPUB?

Membership in CPUB includes all Biology faculty of the fourteen state-owned universities in the State System of Higher Education (SSHE). It receives support from each member school and has received grants from the SSHE. It is considered one of the strongest and most active of the professional associations within the SSHE.
