The Dr. Wayne and Elizabeth Takacs Biology Department is hosting ConGen 2023, an international conservation genomics training workshop next week. Free evening presentations are open to the public on topics related to conservation biology and genetics/genomics.

Officially joining the Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Project (NEPB) with NASA, the Saint Francis team will gather and contribute valuable scientific and engineering data by casting weather balloons far into Earth's atmosphere during solar eclipses in 2023 and 2024.

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û biology professor, Dr. Matthew Birk, is one of the scientists featured in an NPR interview that delves into an article in the journal Cell, where researchers report that octopuses can edit genetic information.

On May 5, 2023, Dr. Peter Skoner accepted the PA Cyber Polytechnic Academy, Partner of the Year Award for Higher Education, at the Curry Innovation Center.

Completing an engineering internship can open the door to many career opportunities and help you take the first steps toward your dream job. This year, we are proud to announce a class of interns and graduates from Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û’s General Engineering program that includes several students participating in a stratospheric ballooning project, students working for companies ranging from Leonardo DRS to Lighthouse Electric, and two students that we are proud to highlight below. These two students have secured job offers in their desired engineering field, which stemmed from their

Engineering internships allow students, like junior Kaitlyn Maxwell and senior Skye Eicher, to gain practical experience in various engineering fields. Kaitlyn & Skye will learn from experienced professionals, work on exciting projects, and develop the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in their chosen fields. Read their stories!

The Fine Arts and Education departments along with the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art and muralist Deb Bunnell are woking on a collaborative mural project. The Art 300 class hosted a VIP Day with Fr. Malachi to share their progress.

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û is currently accepting applications from high school students interested in attending the 2023 Summer Academies. Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û Summer Academies are one-week, residential, immersive programs for high school students who are currently in grades 10 and 11 (and are at least 15 years old) and are interested in pursuing a career in science, technology, engineering, arts, or mathematics. Thanks to generous funding, most academies are offered at the discounted rate of $550; the Environmental Science and Engineering Academy is $150. This includes all instruction materials, plus room and

A grant from the FirstEnergy Foundation will allow Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û to offer professional development opportunities for middle and high school science teachers with enhanced learning opportunities for their students at no cost.
