On April 28, UMBC celebrated the opening of the Science Learning Collaboratory in a festive event featuring remarks by Senator Barbara Mikulski, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) President Robert Tijan, President Hrabowski and CNMS Dean Bill LaCourse.
Located in the Meyerhoff Chemistry Building, the Science Learning Collaboratory is an innovative, interdisciplinary lab created through a partnership between UMBC and HHMI.
The event’s speakers discussed how important hands-on lab experience is to inspiring and preparing students in the sciences. Senator Mikulski remarked, “Right here at UMBC, you’re teaching the warriors of the future to go out and do things that no one had ever dreamed before.”
