Microwave chemistry research heats up at WVU

Similar to how microwave ovens heat soup but not the bowl, researchers at West Virginia University are exploring the possibility of heating one solution component selectively over others in chemical reactions.   

School of Social Work jumps to top 100 in latest U.S. News graduate rankings

The  School of Social Work at  West Virginia University shot up into the top third in the latest rankings of graduate programs by  U.S. News & World Report.

West Virginia University Center for Excellence in STEM Education received $100,000 from the Eberly Foundation to support WVUCE-STEM’s teacher education program, WVUteach, to produce additional STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) secondary education teachers. The funding will support a master teacher assistant, allowing nearly 100 additional students to enter WVUteach over the span of four years.

WVU awarded $1 million grant from NSF for new High Performance Computing cluster

A three-year National Science Foundation grant totaling nearly $1 million will let West Virginia University develop its next-generation High Performance Computing, or HPC, cluster to advance computationally intensive research in a wide array of fields, from drug delivery to genomics and astrophysics. 

A number of students beginning their academic career at WVU are embarking on a journey that no one in their families have before, becoming the first generation of their families to earn four-year degrees. 

That experience comes with unique challenges for students as they make their way through an unfamiliar culture with its own language and expectations. How do I talk to my professor? Can someone help me understand the syllabus? If I need tutoring, is it free?

Take heart, though. We’re here to help. What’s more, a number of faculty in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences had the same experience. They too were once first-generation college students excited about the future, but anxious about asking for help and speaking up in class.

Meet Michelle Richards-Babb, associate professor of chemistry and director of the Office of Undergraduate Research.
