Students work on a lab in Biology and Chemistry Professor  Dr. Eric Williams' Developmental Biology class in the Antonucci Science Complex. The course examines a detailed survey of developing embryos from the fertilized egg through the various stages leading to the adult organism. 

Professor Jo Nazro, Fitchburg State University Industrial Technology/Technical Theater alum, starts with the basics to get her Technical Theater students prepared to begin construction for this semester's production. Check back for more details about the production. Learn more about our Theater Concentration here. 

A crime scene investigation experiment in Biology and Chemistry Professor Ronald Krieser's Genetics Lab in the Antonucci Science Complex. Learn more about our School of Health and Natural Sciences here.

Yesterday afternoon at the Hammond Hall Art Gallery, Artist Candice Ivy discussed her artistic process at the opening of her show “A Wide Golden Blue.” Ivy spoke of how the ever changing environment influences her work. 

It was all smiles this afternoon when the always popular therapy dogs paid a visit to the Hammond Main Lounge, Students got a little break from classes, tests and projects by spending a little time with Daisy, Moka, and Penny. 

With the assistance of our third-year nursing students, our second year nursing students got immersed in a hospital patient care check simulation for patient Ronnie Schmidt, under care for a post-operative abdominal surgery. Our Nursing Simulation Laboratory assists nursing students in learning critical thinking and clinical judgment skills in preparation for their healthcare careers. The “manikins” act as lifelike patient simulators, wherein instructors provide real-time feedback via a control center, giving students as close to real-life simulation as possible. Fellow students watch as their classmates work through the simulation. All students and faculty debrief after the scenario.

Theater Professor Kelly Morgan teaches students how to utilize the sword as an extension of the character and a a vehicle by which the actor propels the story in his
Stage Movement: Combat in Weston Auditorium. This workshop-oriented course utilizes the basic techniques of movement with emphasis on developing each student's potential for effective physicalization of a character on stage.

This morning, the Office of Student Development (OSD) staff invited everyone to "Stop by &  Spill the Tea" in S-Lobby of Hammond Hall. With chocolate fondue on hand, the theme was "What can we 'fondue' for you? Couldn't stop by? Connect with OSD  on their Facebook and Instagram accounts.

This afternoon, Student Development held Rock the Hall in Hammond Hall. Rock the Hall gives students a chance to connect with student Clubs and  Organizations here on campus.

Students in Biology and Chemistry Professor Dr. Michael Nosek's Cell Culture Techniques course work on the last  experiment in the Antonucci Science Complex. This course consists of a survey of the techniques and experimental approaches used in cell culture experimentation. Topics covered will include sterile technique, media preparation, types and sources of cells, cell propagation and quantification, and viability assays. Students will develop their own research project based on their interests. They will use the scientific method to formulate hypotheses and carry out appropriate experiments to address the hypotheses.
