Dear Friends and Colleagues,

This past year has been marked by remarkable growth and achievement in the College of Science. Student enrollment has increased by nearly 10% year over year, reflecting the prominence and excellence of our academic programs. The Science Research Initiative continues to thrive, with undergraduate participation surging to over 550 students this fall—a testament to the curiosity and dedication of our students and faculty alike.

Looking ahead, next summer we will celebrate the dedication of the world-class Crocker Science Complex, a significant milestone in our commitment to cutting-edge research and innovation. This state-of-the-art facility—comprising the Crocker Science Center, the renovated Stewart Building, and the new L.S. Skaggs Applied Science Building—will solidify the College’s presence on campus and drive scientific and educational advancements for generations to come.

These achievements are made possible by the immense talent, passion, drive, and collaborative spirit that define our community. To our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters: thank you for being an integral part of our continued success.

Wishing you a peaceful holiday season and a prosperous New Year.

Sincerely,

Dean Peter Trapa
