Big grant to help support biomedical research at CCU. Great things are happening at CCU and I am glad to be a part of that. https://lnkd.in/ebGCMAxf
The Gupta College of Science provides a premier STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education for our students. Our approach is based on a strong and distinctive liberal arts core, innovative and relevant STEM programs, and the inclusion of a wide variety of nationally recognized high-impact practices (HIPs) in experiential learning. As the largest college at Coastal Carolina University, we offer 12 distinctive undergraduate degree programs ranging from biochemistry to psychology, 14 various concentrations that provide focused expertise with those degrees, as well as 18 minors and one certificate program. For graduate students, we offer two master’s degree programs and one doctoral program. In addition, we offer three dual-degree options as well as a Coastal Marine and Wetlands Studies track in the MBA program offered by the Wall College of Business. What really sets our students apart are the experiences they gain while earning their degrees. These nationally recognized HIPs provide a wide variety of opportunities for students to become involved with faculty in cutting-edge research and outreach through our centers and initiatives.

👏 Dr. Drew Budner and his students are making waves in the world of fermentation research! 🌊 Their latest study, "Impact of Water Ionic Chemistry on Kombucha Fermentation," was just published in the journal Beverages. 🧪✨ This research, conducted with students Olivia Sundman, Sadie Disselkoen, Nicholas Hanson, Cheyenne Butler, Victoria Jordan, Ian Galbraith, Jada Spake, and Selier Pollock, dives into how water chemistry affects kombucha fermentation and its final product. Kombucha has taken the U.S. by storm for its potential health benefits, and this research brings new insights into what makes this fizzy drink so fascinating. To read the publication, visit https://lnkd.in/eJGNVpRt. 🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Budner and the entire team on this exciting achievement!
🌟 One of the many amazing things about CCU's Psychology Club is their passion for service! 💛 This semester, they embraced principles of positive psychology to make a meaningful impact. ✨ Stresstival: Students shared research on stress-reducing techniques (like how coloring can help reduce stress!). 🍂 Fall Cards: Club members crafted thoughtful cards to lift the spirits of residents at local nursing homes during Thanksgiving. We’re so proud of our students for spreading positivity on campus and in the community! 💚 👉 What’s your favorite stress-busting activity? Let us know in the comments!
