Biological Sciences Graduate

Student Organization Garage Sale!

October 8th, 2011

7:00am -3:00pm

O'Reilly Auto Parts Parking Lot

The SHSU Biology Department is raising money this weekend with a garage sale. This is exciting, because obviously the people within the Biology Department most likely have some VERY interesting stuff that they will be selling.

Will you see only the typical garage sale stuff like broken lamps, VCRs, and old rocking chairs or will it be filled with cool nerdy stuff like magnifying glasses, ant farms, bloody lab coats,human organs models, and other random lab equipment? I am getting very excited about the latter possibilities, but there is only one way to find out and that is by going out there on Saturday and checking it out! Getitgetitgetit, guys!

For more information, contact Keri Kershaw at the following:
