We’re excited to share that during our recent stockroom reorganization, we were able to donate unused materials to a local school!
We’re thrilled these supplies will support future scientists—and maybe even send us some curious, well-prepared students ready to take on NKU chemistry.

What are we thankful for?

Our incredible community of students, faculty, and staff that we’re lucky to be part of every day. Last weekend’s KAS meeting was yet another reminder of how NKU shares that spirit with others.

Wishing everyone a warm and happy Thanksgiving!
