ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ

Matthew Wright, PhD, provides extraordinary support for the students in his physics courses, and he's sharing his innovative approach to teaching in op-eds and articles in leading higher education publications.

Rebecca Gotterbarn ’18 took her very first computer science class as a sophomore at ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ. Today she's a member of an elite cybersecurity team at IBM.

Dr. Foellmer shared his expertise in a video produced by the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter. He explained that healthy wetlands protect property and surrounding areas by absorbing flood water from storms such as Superstorm Sandy.

This academic year, ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ received four grants totaling nearly $1.7 million for STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics)-related projects. Three grants were awarded from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the fourth grant was awarded from the American Chemical Society.

As a young woman from a small town in Connecticut, Sarah Cinquemani knew that she did not wish to attend a large university, such as UConn. She wanted to attend a smaller institution that provided access to her professors.

Students in Intro to Cybersecurity got a hands-on look at how easy it is to exploit technology—and the people who use it—when they were assigned the task of creating and sending mock phishing emails to faculty and staff.

Sarah Combs, one of the first students in our new five-year B.A./M.S. in Environmental Studies program, is heading to a remote corner of Minnesota to map the first settlements of the Ojibwe tribe.

Physicists don't often guarantee a look into the future, but the Society of Physics Students (SPS) seems confident that ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ's students will have a place in the field for years to come.

Science classes at ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ often incorporate field study. The marine biology class taught by Aaren Freemen, Ph.D., virtually revolves around it, engaging in what Dr. Freeman calls "boots in the mud type of work."

At ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ, the five-hour biochemistry lab run by Professor Brian Stockman, Ph.D., is capped at 12 students who are divided into three or four groups and conduct their own, customized research projects.

Read about the many successes ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ's chemistry department has achieved over the past year.

After ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ's recent screening of Before the Flood, associate professor Beth Christensen gave some input on climate change.

James Dooley, Ph.D., and fellow marine scientists petitioned Obama to create the first national monument in the Atlantic Ocean.
