Students in Biology and Chemistry Professor Emma Downs' General Chemistry II Lab work on an assignment in the Antonucci Science Complex. In this course, topics include chemical, acid/base, and solubility equilibria and chemical kinetics.

Our nursing students were immersed in scenario with a pediatric patient. Students cared for the patient and instructed a "family member" on aftercare. 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.

Students in Biology and Chemistry Professor Mathangi Krishnamurthy's Organic Chemistry II Lab work on an assignment in the Antonucci Science Complex. In this course, chemistry of aromatic compounds, unsaturated hydrocarbons and enols and enolates are covered in detail. Reactions such as elimination, electrophilic addition, nucleophilic addition and condensation are discussed in detail with special emphasis on reaction mechanisms and stereochemical outcomes. The theories behind analytical methods such as IR, NMR spectroscopy and Mass spectrometry are discussed along with their application in structural elucidation of organic compounds.

Students in Biology and Chemistry Professor Christopher Cratsley's Animal Behavior Lab work on an assignment in the Antonucci Science Complex. This course focuses on classical and current research exploring the mechanisms and evolution of Animal Behavior. Course topics include the genetic, ecological, evolutionary, cellular and physiological processes that shape animal behavior.

After two weeks of skills assessment to begin the semester, our nursing students were introduced to our Simulation Laboratory where they will be  immersed in a various scenarios throughout the rest of the semester. 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.

Biology and Chemistry Professor Ronald Krieser gives a lesson in proper pipette usage as the students in his Genetics Lab prepare a crime scene investigation experiment in the Antonucci Science Complex. Learn more about our School of Health and Natural Sciences here.

Students in Biology and Chemistry Professor Billy Samulak's Chemistry for Health Sciences Lab work on an assignment in the Antonucci Science Complex. This course is designed specifically for nursing and exercise sports majors and includes the study of selected topics from general chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry.

On day one of  Biology and Chemistry Professor Dr. Sean Rollins' Medical Microbiology course, students get a primer on use, cleaning, and care of the microscope. The course serves as an introduction to the biology of major groups of micro-organisms including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. Emphasis is placed on their relationship to man as agents of infectious diseases. In the laboratory principles and practices of aseptic techniques and diagnostic identification and culture of disease entities are explored.

Second-year Nursing students went through multiple care stations at their Nursing
Medical-Surgical Nursing I Lab in the Thompson Hall Nursing Lab. This course establishes the foundation for core concepts in the nursing care of adults with common health alterations. The development of critical thinking skills is emphasized. Nursing care is presented using a nursing process framework.

Students in Biology and Chemistry Professor Billy Samulak's General Chemistry Lab try to figure out, with the help of a digital melting point apparatus, whether or not they successfully made aspirin in an earlier lab. The course explores the fundamental laws and theories of chemistry such as atomic structure, the periodic table, electrochemistry, descriptive inorganic chemistry, the gas laws, solutions, equilibrium calculations and chemical bonding. Chemical calculations are emphasized.
