Veritas, Scientia, Mores: What is true? How do I know truth? How, then, shall I act?

Chapel Speech made by Brian Reedy, an Alumni of the School of Natural and Social Sciences

The Vision of the School of Natural and Social Sciences is to utilize the philosophy and methods of science to promote understanding of how the physical world is composed and related to the properties and behaviors of plant, animal, and human life. Students are challenged to integrate the logic of rational certainty with the logic of faith and conviction.

With this vision in mind, each year the School of Natural and Social Sciences hosts a Student Research Forum in which students from each department present their current research to the faculty and student body. In April of 2006, about 70 students gave poster presentations while 5 students gave oral presentations. An abstract for both Cynthia Foster's research on Leprosy and Staci Wilson's research on Spiritual Discernment can be found by clinking on the associated link.

The School of Natural and Social Sciences also sends out a Newsletter at least once a year, letting the student body know what is happening in the division.
