IMAGINE a center where students gather daily to share in the discovery of the natural world. . . to unravel the mysteries of the human genome. . . or to explore the wonders of the cosmos. . . where science is taught in a state-of-the-art setting, with an emphasis on ethics and service to humanity, so that today’s students are prepared to go out and use their skills and knowledge to make the world a better place.

This vision is about to become a reality as we embark on one of the most compelling capital enhancement projects in the history of Saint Mary’s University: the renovation of our existing Adducci Science Center and the construction of a major addition to create a 21st century facility for science education and research.

With an extraordinary new science center on the horizon, Saint Mary’s University is poised to become a leader in science education. Your support for the Saint Mary’s Science Initiative can help us make a historically strong program in the sciences even stronger, enhance our stature as a center for excellence in science education and research, and give our students the foundation they need to meet the scientific, technological and ethical challenges of our changing world.
