Elementary School Students Visit Campus

Since the spring of 2017, the University has partnered with McNichols Plaza to provide STEAM and STEM based educational activities to students at the South Scranton elementary school as part of a Scranton School District initiative. On Monday, November 14, the 5th grade class visited campus for a morning filled with different activities.

Biology professor Janice Voltzow and physics professor Declan Mulhall gave interactive lessons to the students and provided them with hands-on experience with microscopes and sound-wave experiments. Hope Horn Gallery Director, Darlene Miller-Lanning, led an art workshop with blind and gesture drawings. Renee Giovagnoli led the students on tours of the Loyola Science Center during which the students were introduced to the robotics lab, a 3D printer, and all of the animals that call the Loyola Science Center home.

Finally, the students went on guided tours of the campus before heading back to their school for lunch.
