Testimonials

I am delighted to contribute to what feels like a second home to me. St. Scholastica boasts an amazing Biology program with a history of excellent instruction and hands-on laboratory experiences. I will never forget the hours I spent in the Science Building and how that time enriched my life. I use those experiences in my work life each day, supervising biohazardous risk compliance in research.

- Tracy Henry, Class of 1998

The entire CSS community, particularly the biology and chemistry departments, gave me the critical foundation on which I am building my future career in dentistry. I wanted to give back the the programs which have given so much to me.

- Kacie Woodis, Class of 2006

I've noticed with some of my classes, such as General Chemistry or Genetics, that the labs are getting crowded. That will change after the Initiative.

Thank you to everyone who supported the Science Initiative!

Larry Goodwin
President

For nearly a century, The College of St. Scholastica has been a leader in health care education.

For example, 75 years ago we began the first baccalaureate medical records program in the country, and today are pioneering implementation of the Electronic Health Record at colleges and universities nationwide.

Well over half of all St. Scholastica students pursue careers in the sciences, the health professions, and medicine.

"These professionals need more than technical competence," said St. Scholastica President Larry Goodwin. "They also need the ethical expertise to make the tough decisions that our rapid technological advances present.

"We are poised to be a national leader in addressing these needs. St. Scholastica has always embodied excellence through our faculty expertise, our values, and our vision."

Built more than forty years ago to serve 800 students, St. Scholastica's science classrooms and laboratories today serve three times that number.

"We need more space," Goodwin said. "We need new laboratories, and more of them. We need more settings for faculty-student research and close mentoring. We need an expanded Science Center."
