The School of the Sciences celebrated our graduating seniors with a sendoff picnic. Students were treated with picnic food, desserts, yard games and raffle prizes. The students awarded superlatives to the faculty. It was a beautiful afternoon to relax after finals and prepare for upcoming graduation festivities!

Check out this awesome new informational video taken during an actual integrative biochemistry lab led by chemistry professors Dr. Tim Dwyer and Dr. Jeremy Burkett. Click the photo to watch in YouTube.

The 4th Annual Spring Spectacular was held on the north campus last week on a beautiful spring day. This year the science and math demonstrations were joined by the psychology department who held some virtual reality activities. Among the highlights were the liquid nitrogen ice cream, cool soap bubbles, the air cannon and the ping pong ball fountain! This event was made possible with help from all the student volunteers.
