This page was created as a result of a research paper written by Juan
Acevedo and Jennifer McGilton for biology 181, an introductory biology
course at the University of Arizona.
Juan Acevedo is currently a sophomore majoring in veterinary science.
His aspirations include graduating with distinction from the University of
Arizona with a bachelor's degree in veterinary science and earning a
doctorate degree in veterinary science from Colorado State University.
Juan intends to focus his attention on the study of large, exotic animals to
provide the means for a career as a zoo veterinarian.

and support to those persons living with or affected by AIDS. Juan is an

Arizona's Bisexual, Gay and Lesbian Association (BGALA).
Jennifer McGilton is a junior majoring in German studies and molecular
and cellular biology. Her goals at the moment are to graduate with honors
by May of 1999 and to be accepted to a reputable graduate school. While
unclear on her exact career target, Jennifer would like to do research in molecular biology and biochemistry.
