Biology and Chemistry Professor Dennis Awasabisah works with students in his Organic Chemistry I Lab in the Antonucci Science Complex. The course covers topics such as structure, functional groups, stereochemistry, nomenclature and reactions of organic compounds. Reactions of carbonyl compounds and carboxylic acids and their derivatives are covered in detail including nucleophilic addition, condensation and nucleophilic substitution with special emphasis on reaction mechanisms and stereochemical outcomes. 

Students in Biology and Chemistry Professor Robert Pijewski's Human Anatomy & Physiology I Lab examine tissue specimins  in the Antonucci Science Complex. The course explores the structure and function of the human organism on the cellular, tissue, organ, and system levels. Cellular metabolism, histology, and the following systems: skeletal, muscular, and nervous (including the special senses) are examined. The laboratory emphasizes both physiology and the dissection of preserved mammalian specimens.  

Lat last week, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Computer Information System, Engineering Technology, and Mathematics faculty involved in the National Science Foundation (NSF) S-STEM Project gathered in Presidents Hall for the NSF S-STEM Program Year 2 Meet & Greet with the newest cohort. The project is committed to improving STEM majors in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Computer Information System, Engineering Technology, and Mathematics student experience. 

Our newest Nursing Student cohort in the START STRONG; Your Nursing Journey Begins Here program spent this morning with tours of our Nursing Foundations Labs - where they will be spending a lot of time. Nursing faculty and current students took questions about the Nursing program and what to expect in their first year.

Our newest Nursing Student cohort in the START STRONG; Your Nursing Journey Begins Here program got a chance to see what a college level Anatomy & Physiology course was like with  Biology and Chemistry Professor John Ludlam. Learn more about the program here. 

This morning, the university  welcomed members of our newest Nursing Student cohort to campus for the START STRONG; Your Nursing Journey Begins Here program. After checking in, settling in the dorm, and breakfast, President Hodge welcomed the newest Falcons. Afterward, Nursing Program Professor Karen Beaton. along with current students and faculty, began an array of activities with the students.

Professor Karen Beaton instructs the Nursing Care of The Family Nursing course in Thompson Hall, having students work in groups to sharpen their care diagnostic skills. Students in the course are enrolled in our LPN to BS in Nursing Bridge Program. 

Last week, nursing students and their faculty held an unconventional way of studying for the NCLEX exam, The exam was developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) to test the competency of nursing school graduates in the U.S. and Canada. This Family Feud style battle was played by teams named The Specialties, SSRawrIs. The Carebears, A&Ox4, Vibes and Vitals and the faculty team - The Brainy Bunch.

Last week, the Exercise and Sports Science department gathered in Hammond Main Lounge for their annual Internship Presentations & Awards luncheon. It was an afternoon of showcasing hard work, professional growth, and the future of the field.

 Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Computer Information System, Engineering Technology, and Mathematics faculty and Student Mentors involved in the National Science Foundation (NSF) S-STEM Project gathered in Presidents Hall for the NSF S-STEM Program Year 1 Wrap Up and Celebration. Members of the first year cohort, along with their Student Mentors were recognized for their involvement in this program. The project is committed to improving STEM majors in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Computer Information System, Engineering Technology, and Mathematics student experience.
