Elements of SUCCESS

Asplanning began for the Murchie Science Building expansion, Professor Jessica Tischler suggested supporters of the project be recognized on a large periodic table of elements. The idea was embraced, and leadership named the project “Elements of Success,” symbolizing the importance of each individual contributor. Support of our students is as fundamental to their success as each of the elements in the periodic table is to our existence. Without oxygen, we would not breathe. Without calcium, our bones could not be strong. Each of the 118 tiles on the donor wall features details of the element, along with a message from the donor. The minimum donation to become an Element of Success is $1,000. Funds raised throughout the Elements of Success campaign are being used to support student research experiences; student clubs, organizations, and competitions; K-12 outreach activities; academic support services such as tutoring; and ongoing equipment purchases for research and laboratories.
