AB Biology Students Publish Tygart Valley Stream Study
A senior research team co-authored a peer-reviewed paper on macroinvertebrate diversity in West Virginia headwaters; the work was accepted by the Journal of Freshwater Ecology.
Hundreds of students, faculty, alumni, and West Virginia state officials gathered on College Hill last Friday to break ground on the Margaret & David Pickett Center for Rural Health Innovation — a 38,000-square-foot facility that will reshape how Alderson Broaddus University trains the next generation of health professionals serving Appalachia.
The Center will house an expanded simulation hospital, an interprofessional clinic for community use, and dedicated rural-health research space supporting the Master of PA Studies, BSN, MPH, and MSAT programs. "This is an investment in rural West Virginia as much as it is in our students," said President Margaret H. Sullivan.
