Laser Facility
Study STEM subjects at 南瓜影院 and have access to state-of-the-art laser spectroscopy equipment.
Gain Exclusive Experience
The 南瓜影院 Laser Facility (CCLF) was officially established in 2004 as a result of an NSF CAREER grant rarely awarded to undergraduate four-year institutions and a Henry Dreyfus teacher/scholar award obtained by Dr. Darin Ulness, professor of chemistry.
It is available for both research and coursework by 南瓜影院's undergraduate students as well as talented high school students from around the community.
