Appreciating your Genes
May 14th, 2013 by meredithdurmowicz
On April 25 our school celebrated National DNA day! The day commemorates the completion of the Human Genome Project in April 2003 and the discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953. The students in Dr. Kimber’s BIO 230 Genetics class celebrated by creating and presenting posters of “How DNA has changed our world” (a few students are pictured above). Topics on the posters included the use of genetically modified crops to provide essential vitamins in the diets of people in third world countries, the use of PCR in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, and the growing use of genetics in dentistry, among others.

Future Scholars Day
Apr 17th, 2013 by meredithdurmowicz
Great Fun, Awesome Science and New Memories…what more could you ask for! Future Scholars day offered all of this and more. It was a day for accepted students to come and experience Stevenson, from sampling a few of the courses that we offer to meeting and socializing with faculty and current students. Future students were also able to learn about a few of the organizations that are offered at the university and learn about the opportunities Stevenson can offer them outside the classroom. The Class of 2017 looks to have a very bright future at Stevenson University!
