The People
Before you can discuss a building’s merits, you must consider the people who call it home. In this case, it’s the committed students and faculty of the Schmid College of Science and Technology. Led by Interim Dean Jason Keller, Ph.D., Schmid College is composed of a diverse population of physicists, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, ecologists, and computer, data, and food scientists. Though they pursue divergent scientific paths, they share a common curiosity and a drive for discovery.
