Kemper-Redd Science Center
Kemper-Redd Science Center is home to the College of Health, Science, Technology, and Mathematics, which includes the majors of biology; chemistry; computer science; cyber security; environmental science; exercise science; mathematics; natural resource management; and nursing. Inside you’ll find biology, chemistry, physics, and computer labs, as well as an anatomy lab and lecture halls. A four-story, 3,000 square foot mural adorns the stairwell and depicts evolution scenes. The mural entitled “Life” was created by Ashley Teets from the Class of 2012.
Students in HSTM collaborate with professors on research projects, and many students publish before they graduate. Student research projects have been recognized by receiving grants from the Appalachian College Association or participation in the Institutional Development Award Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence program. Students also have the opportunity to participate in the annual Undergraduate Research Day at the state capitol, which gives legislators and West Virginia institutions the chance to interact with students and witness how they are revolutionizing the future. Students who walk the halls of Kemper-Redd set high standards, as 98% of students eligible for medical school are accepted into graduate or professional programs, including medical, pharmacy, and dental schools.
