This holiday season, I am deeply grateful for the incredible achievements of our community. I am especially thankful to our External Advisory Board members, whose support and insights have been instrumental in building “the community of researchers with molecular, cellular, and computational minds” per our 2021-2026 strategic vision. As we celebrate our progress, we are also looking to the future. Over the past year, we have diligently worked together to shape up our vision for 2026–2031. We plan to advance our community with a particular focus on the infusion of artificial intelligence (AI) into our undergraduate and graduate curricula. In the coming year, we will unveil and implement innovative AI ideas that would transform student learning and research experience toward career aspiration and readiness. Thank you all for your unwavering support for and engagement in our community. Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a successful new year!
Warm regards,
Woo Lee
Chair and Professor, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology

Nicholas Murgolo and Dorothea Komino recognized the impact this fund has had on students as well as the CCB Department. They wanted to support the Stevens CCB community, and felt this was the way to best accomplish that. This scholarship is awarded yearly to one or more deserving full-time graduate student(s) at Stevens Institute of Technology. The recipient(s) shall be in good academic standing and majoring in Chemistry. If this cannot be met, the second preference is for a student majoring in Biomedical Engineering or Biology.

This past year has been one of tremendous success for our CCB students and faculty. None of which would be possible without the support of our alumni and friends.
Your contributions to our CCB Special Initiatives Fund provide our students with research and internship experiences, which will nurture curiosity, foster problem-solving skills, and empower them to make a positive impact on the world.
Throughout this holiday season, we seek to raise $25,000 to help support summer internships at local medical centers and undergraduate and graduate research projects. Your generous support will help position students for career readiness and success.
