School of Natural Sciences & Mathematics

Mission:

The School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics equips students with transformative educational experiences that combine academic training with hands-on research opportunities. Grounded in Christian faith, we prepare students with the knowledge, skills, and ethical foundation needed to become selfless leaders in academia, industry, and beyond.

Fundraising Priorities:

Supporting hands-on laboratory research experiences for students by providing essential supplies and equipment for genetics, microbiology, and biochemistry courses.

Funds will help support:

• Supplies for a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) in the genetics lab
• Materials to expand microbiology labs with modern CRISPR bacterial gene-editing techniques
• Biochemistry lab supplies for protein immunoblotting experiments

These resources allow students to gain practical molecular biology experience that prepares them for internships and careers in biotechnology, pharmaceutical research, clinical laboratories, and government agencies.
