AREAS OF RESEARCH
 

Dr. Harold Grau has been teaching college biology courses since 1985.  As a student he was initially interested in animal behavior, but he is CNU’s current resident animal physiologist, as well as human anatomy and physiology instructor.  His current research interests involve studying cotton stainer bugs from the Caribbean. 

He and his wife Michelle (a CNU Spanish instructor) came to the Tidewater region in 1993 after having spent three years teaching on St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.  Dr. Grau is a soccer referee with the Peninsula Soccer Officials Association.

Dr. Grau presented a seminar entitled “Current Research on Cotton Stainer Insects” to open Virginia Wesleyan College’s Division of Natural Science and Mathematics Spring Speaker Series. He also contributed “Eye” and “Hearing” entries to the recently published Encyclopedia of Biology, targeted primarily to high school students.

Dr. Harold Grau hosts 6th grade students from Huntington Middle School in his Human Anatomy Lab. The HMS students worked with BIOL 315 students in small groups as they participated in cat dissections and viewed anatomical models. [left]
