Inside Look

How can you use a suspect’s computer to recover important clues for solving a crime? How can we use the energy in sunlight to power our planet? How can the way voting districts are drawn affect the fairness of our elections? What are the biological changes that happen to our bodies during exercise, and why?

The College of Science at Eastern Kentucky University launched a science and math summer camp this year to engage high school students in using tools offered by science and math to craft viable solutions to such world problems.

"Dr. Julia Bohannon, EKU alumna (B.S. Biology, 2004), received the Society for Leukocyte Biology 2017 Jeanette Thorbecke Award.  The award is presented to a deserving young female investigator.

Julia is an Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University and her research is aimed at investigating immunomodulatory therapies for the prevention and treatment of infection and sepsis following a severe burn injury.

Eastern Kentucky University has been honored again for its commitment to environmental stewardship.

University officials learned recently that Phase 2 of its Science Building, the largest such facility on any college campus in the Commonwealth, was granted LEED Gold status by the U.S. Green Building Council. (LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.) A ceremony will be held at a later date.

Four years ago, nearby South Hall became the first LEED Gold-certified residence hall on a state university campus in Kentucky.

Dr. Judy Jenkins, Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, was highlighted in EKU's QEP Profile which is a series of interviews with campus QEP leaders – those staff, faculty and administrators across campus promoting the goals of EKU’s Quality Enhancement Plan. The current QEP, Read with Purpose, calls for Eastern to develop critical readers through the use of metacognitive strategies.
