The University of Maryland’s commitment to expanding science opportunities on campus could not be any more clear having now acquired a five-year, $1.2 million grant to further undergraduate science education from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
The College Park institution plans to use the grant to develop a new living-learning program for students enrolled in the biological and chemical sciences. It will include a residence hall with integrated support mentoring programs, community-building activities, co-enrollment in introductory science courses and advanced access to stellar hands-on research opportunities.
