Hampton University School of Science Top Twelve Accomplishments within the past 5 years

Drs. Tunde Adebola and Eric Lewallen were awarded a NOAA LMRCSC grant of $90,000 for the period – 07/01/21 – 07/01/22. The proposal was entitled ” Developing a Coupled Human Ecological System for Chesapeake Bay Shellfish Fisheries” and it aims to develop novel strategies for modeling local crab and oyster populations.

HAMPTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF SCIENCE MISSION

Hampton University School of Science mission is to provide quality and rigorous instructional programs, conduct discipline-specific research, engage in service and demonstrate leadership.

An integral part of our mission is to educate our students based on our commitment to ethics in education and sustained excellence. With a collaborative team of interdisciplinary faculty members, we implement state-of-the-art pedagogy and innovative technologies to promote and cultivate students with competence, integrity, and compassion. Our graduates are well-prepared for professional, scientific and academic careers with applicable skills to compete for direct entry into the workforce and graduate and professional programs.

Visit the Dean’s Corner to read her informative message.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”- Albert Einstein

Good teaching and leading edge research are cornerstones of the School of Science. With partners such as NASA, investigators in the Department of Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences launched the AIM (Aeronomy in the Mesosphere) weather satellite, the first mission in the nation to be fully controlled by a Historically Black College/University (HBCU). Advancements in medical technologies in the Center for Advanced Medical Instrumentation (CAMI) in the Physics Department spawned the Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute, the world’s largest freestanding proton therapy cancer treatment facility, located in Hampton, Virginia. Scientists receive funding and research awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF); the National Institutes of Health (NIH); the Department of Defense (DOD); the Department of Energy (DOE); the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI); the Keck Foundation and other agencies. We welcome and invite you to explore and learn more in our innovative laboratories of discovery.
