Oglethorpe’s $20 million campaign to build a new center for science and innovation led to the transformative renovation of Goslin Hall into the I.W. “Ike” Cousins Center for Science and Innovation.

The Cousins Center provides an additional place on campus to elevate students’ intellectual curiosity, expand discovery, and engage in problem-solving.

At Oglethorpe, students learn critical thinking and communications skills, equipping them to talk about their work and make new connections. Through your generosity, we have enhanced undergraduate research opportunities and are encouraging students to pursue scientific discovery.

This facility is already established as a pivotal part of campus: a home for the sciences, a learning space for the Hammack School of Business, an incubator for cutting-edge interdisciplinary learning that engages the whole campus, and a collaboration space for students pursuing a variety of academic subjects.

The classrooms and gathering spaces housed within the beautiful exterior accommodate emerging and yet-to-be-imagined initiatives focusing on invention, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

The facility includes innovation and design thinking spaces with laboratory classrooms for the sciences, along with learning spaces for interactive study and idea sharing across disciplines, with emphasis on science and business. The learning spaces leverage the connections between disciplines, accelerating what Oglethorpe students learn as undergraduates.

We are grateful to be able to provide these opportunities to our students and highlight the ways in which this facility fuses learning and innovation.

This is a place where Oglethorpe students think, do and build – empowering them to envision infinite possibilities ahead – and we thank you for making it possible.

“Oglethorpe excels at taking inquisitive students and accelerating their curiosity. The university helps them find new perspectives and encourages them to explore connections. At Oglethorpe, students learn that fields like biology and philosophy can go together. It’s all about applying what they learn in a creative way. This facility enables Oglethorpe to do this more effectively and with the latest technology and equipment to ensure they are at the top of their field.”

There is a long history of individuals, corporations and foundations investing in Oglethorpe’s success, and the university’s campaign to fund a science and innovation center was no different, drawing support from alumni and community supporters.

The lead gift for this campaign came from Tom and Ann Cousins, whose $2.5 million donation marked the largest single gift the university had received from an individual family at that time. In honor of their generosity and support of Oglethorpe, the center is named for the father of Tom Cousins, 1927 Oglethorpe alumnus I.W. “Ike” Cousins, who was a science major and three-sport letterman. Lillian Cousins Giornelli, daughter of Ann and Tom Cousins and CEO of the Cousins Foundation, represents the third generation of her family to continue the philanthropic investment in the university.

The family was among those on hand for the official groundbreaking in 2018, marking the start of an incredible transformation. Since then, the building has become a focal point of the campus, bridging function and style to serve as a hub for innovation.

“The impact of philanthropy on innovation cannot be understated. The generosity of the Oglethorpe community – alumni, friends, corporations and foundations – has made the Cousins Center for Science and Innovation at Oglethorpe a hallmark facility for research and discovery that provides our students tremendous opportunities.”

— Cameron Bready ‘94 President and Chief Executive Officer, Global Payments, Inc. Campaign Co-Chair and University Trustee 5

NATIONALLYRECOGNIZED DESIGN adds to impact

The Cousins Center’s focus on sustainability and eye-catching design by architects Cooper Carry, Inc. was highlighted by several national and local publications, including Architectural Digest, Building Design + Construction, Curbed Atlanta, and others, bringing national attention to Oglethorpe’s campus.

The American Institute of Architects (Georgia) presented Oglethorpe University’s Cousins Center for Science and Innovation with an Honor Award for Design in the category of Renovation/Restoration in 2020. The Cousins Center is a striking blend of modern design juxtaposed with Oglethorpe’s historic collegiate Gothic style. The structure is composed of a light-filled 25,000-square-foot addition that encompasses the original 20,000-square-foot renovated Goslin Hall, creating a completely reimagined 45,000-square-foot facility.

Throughout construction, students had the opportunity for hands-on learning. A modern architecture class led by Interdisciplinary Studies Coordinator Dr. Jeffrey Collins visited the active construction site to see the building process firsthand, from pouring the foundation to the outfitting of laboratories and classrooms. Seeing a facility under construction

was important and unique for our students, as most examples used in classes are completed buildings.

Students were able to see and understand how the architecture encompasses not only artistic, aesthetic design, but also mathematics, engineering, planning and organization. This opportunity gave students direct access to what they may otherwise only have read about, fusing classroom learning with real-life examples on our campus.

PLACES to learn, SPACE to grow The enhanced facility includes teaching labs, study rooms, and incredible new lab and research equipment to support the work of students and faculty across disciplines. These are just a few of the spaces and equipment making an impact on undergraduate research and the Oglethorpe student experience.

The Psychology Lab provides designated spaces for observational studies through courses and independent study opportunities for Psychology students. This high quality of undergraduate research has led to a 100% acceptance rate of recent presentations at regional research conferences, as well as more students completing publishable research findings.

The facility features 20,000 square feet of discipline-specific laboratory classrooms, including separate specialty labs and independent study labs for Honors projects and research. Students can have their own designated lab bench, managing their workspace and equipment. This has created a community of researchers, building confidence in students who can share their research with their peers.

The chemistry lab includes a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscope, which is used to evaluate the structure of a chemical compound. Since all science students at Oglethorpe must take some chemistry classes, and because of our small class sizes, all science students get in-depth experience with the NMR, which is uncommon at larger institutions.

A Maker’s Space includes a band saw, drill press and lathe, as well as 3D printers that can create 3-dimensional objects out of plastic.

It’s open to all students and faculty, as well as classes with a curriculum that requires the use of the equipment.

The equipment throughout the labs supports student research and allowed the development of new and innovative academic courses. Equipment like the ChemiDoc gel imaging system, an optical table laser used in physics, and electrophysiology lab kits used in human physiology, are all significantly enhancing the student experience and inspiring some new advanced-level courses.

Collaboration rooms provide spaces for independent and group study, as well as areas where the supplemental instructor program participants—upper-class students supporting science courses—can meet with students. The clear glass and open shareable spaces make it easy for students to organically connect with someone if they need assistance, significantly helping service to students.

New faculty office space on each floor has been a game-changer, making faculty more accessible outside of class. Students are frequently in the halls, working on whiteboards outside faculty offices. The sense of community among the science faculty and students is building exponentially.

The Rulison telescope and dome atop the building will give students the opportunity to bolster their skills of operating a telescope and processing images, which are critical to enhancing job opportunities in observatories post-graduation.

Courtney Stuart ’21 credits her undergraduate research experience and one-on-one faculty mentoring at Oglethorpe with setting her on a path for a career in science. Now a Ph.D. candidate at Boston College working with retroviruses, her experience with research in the Cousins Center for Science and Innovation set her on this path of discovery.

community as an international student from Moldova. She first learned about research opportunities available in the labs of the Cousins Center for Science and Innovation at the annual STEMfest event, where faculty members operated advanced science equipment and spoke about work in the lab. At the time, she says she was still thinking about her career path after graduation, but research sparked her interest. She soon started research in biology in the lab of associate professor of biology Dr. Lea Alford. During the summer of 2023, Casandra began work as a research scholar as part of the Sciences Summer Research Scholars Program at Oglethorpe.

A biology major and chemistry minor, Courtney’s decision to pursue research was shaped by many faculty members’ encouragement and support. As a student, when she learned about the undergraduate research opportunities in the new Cousins Center for Science and Innovation, it was a perfect fit.

“The research experience has been a true blessing. I can get hands-on experience in the laboratory as well as advice and mentoring from Dr. Alford. Spending time in the laboratory engaging in research allowed me to unveil the different career options I can strive for with my biopsychology degree.”

“My first year at Oglethorpe, I had a few biology and chemistry courses in Goslin Hall, and it was just so dark,” she recalls. “My junior year, the Cousins Center opened, and it was awesome! Cousins is a lot brighter and much more inviting than the traditional, dark rooms that scientists are used to. There were so many new additions like a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, which I got to use in some of my Chemistry electives.”

When Casandra first began at Oglethorpe, she was taking classes in English as her second language, working a part-time job, away from family and her home country, and she says it was a challenging time.

She became more interested in bench research while taking classes in genetics with Dr. Karen Schmeichel. “I appreciated that we were trusted to use the equipment and given the space to have our own bench during research,” says Courtney. “Having state-of-the-art equipment and facilities made it so that I could focus on the science, my career, and my learning.”

Casandra Fondos ’24 joined the Oglethorpe

“I was worried about fitting in and being good enough for the degree that I was pursuing,” she says.

“Oglethorpe has helped me break this barrier and gain a sense of community and belonging. Doing research in the laboratory has also helped me gain confidence and a sense of belonging in STEM. The faculty and staff members are always welcoming and genuinely want to help us succeed.”

After graduation, Casandra plans to enroll in a graduate program in biology, particularly in neuroscience. While researching STEM graduate programs, she found that most require undergraduate research experience, and she is grateful to have had the opportunity to develop this experience at Oglethorpe.

A TANGIBLE IMPACT on students Malaika Taylor ’24, a biopsychology major with

a minor in chemistry, originally thought she would pursue a career as a medical doctor. It wasn’t until she started at Oglethorpe that she discovered there were many other ways to contribute to science for the good of humanity.

“I went to the mini-symposium that happens each fall semester where professors observe students as they present research on big posters in the Cousins Center Atrium,” she recalls. “While attending the symposium, I simply asked a professor, whose class I was taking that semester, how students could get involved with research on campus.”

Malaika’s undergraduate research experience has helped build her confidence in the field of science. Her biophysics research project – which utilizes equipment in labs throughout the Cousins Center – has helped her realize that she belongs in a lab.

“Being given the chance to engage in research has helped me better synthesize information and apply it because this is a skill built through practice,” she says. “It has also given me a nice view of future career paths. It

is something I can see myself doing long-term.”

“When talking to non-OU STEM students and professionals about the technology available to us here, I realized that Cousins is a unicorn, a hidden gem,” she says. “By the time chemistry major and minors leave OU, they will have, at a minimum, experience using tools including UVVis Spectroscopy Instruments, Gas Chromatography (GC), and a Fluorescence Spectroscopy, which is very beneficial for grad school and/or working in chemistry labs straight out of college.”

With plans to pursue a Ph.D. program that encompasses biophysics and motion in order to become a researcher and professor, Malaika is grateful for the support of faculty. “Oglethorpe goes out of its way to hire dedicated and supportive professors, and it has made pursuing research much easier, as the faculty offer wisdom and advice to help make this possible for me and others.”

One important outcome of the building’s renovation is the strengthened connection of the university to Atlanta, further elevating Oglethorpe’s community engagement. The building’s design and wellequipped spaces are also enabling Oglethorpe to be a leader in the scientific academic community in Atlanta and beyond through grant funding and new research initiatives.

Leading in the Field Though work funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) began prior to the opening of the new facility, the projects Oglethorpe is engaged in through HHMI are significantly enhanced because of the physical space in which faculty and students work. The current HHMI grant focuses on inclusive excellence in STEM, increasing the institution’s capacity for inclusion of all students, especially those who are underrepresented in the sciences. Enhanced by the Cousins Center’s facilities and equipment, Oglethorpe has been increasingly successful in incorporating both inquiry-based research and course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) into curricular planning and design, serving as a model for other institutions.

The Cousins Center’s capacity is also helping to make a compelling case for future grant funding, demonstrating how state-of-the-art facilities can enhance our faculty’s signature innovative pedagogy and student research opportunities.

Bringing in the Community For the last two years, Oglethorpe has welcomed more than 100 Atlanta-area families to the Cousins Center for Science and Innovation for interactive science exhibitions as part of the Atlanta Science Festival, an annual city-wide celebration of worldclass learning and STEM career opportunities. Teams of Oglethorpe students, faculty and staff host familyfriendly activities and experiments, introducing young children to a variety of scientific concepts. Hosting events at Oglethorpe showcases the university as a leader in the sciences and helps to expand access to science learning and STEM programming for young students throughout Atlanta as they learn and grow.

Building for the Future The impact that Oglethorpe, its students, and its faculty can have on the city and throughout the world is limited only by the imagination. At Oglethorpe, students bridge the divide between theory and practice through the combination of a rigorous liberal arts and sciences curriculum with an extensive array of relevant, real-world experiences. This model takes the university beyond the century-old granite walls; it sends its alumni out as accomplished graduates, strong leaders, and engaged citizens who know how to make a difference for their employers and to society. The Cousins Center for Science and Innovation is the latest example of Oglethorpe’s vision made into reality through the dedication of our faculty, the incredible talent of our students, and the culture of philanthropy fostered by our alumni and community partners.
