Officials from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences received a grant last month to construct a science learning center for a high school in Alexandria, Virginia.
Using a $700,000 grant from Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s Growth and Opportunity for Virginia grant program, which aims to create economic growth throughout the commonwealth, three SMHS faculty will help establish a learning center equipped with virtual and augmented reality technology. The space will become part of the high school’s Governor’s Health Sciences Academy, which SMHS launched in 2018.
