METRIC scholars volunteered at the Girl Scout's STEM-Tacular Badge Bash on November 9, 2025, where dozens of girl scouts were introduced to exciting possibilities in STEM fields, from computer science and creative technology to geology, chemistry, and engineering, through engaging, age-appropriate workshops.

Science LIVE! turned our Hall of Science into an open house, welcoming families, alumni, and future Beach scientists for four hours of hands-on discovery. Departments across CNSM opened labs and classrooms so visitors could see science up close: astronomy on the plaza, creature encounters below ground, and everything in between.

Students, faculty and staff can take advantage of a variety of new, relocated and recently expanded resources. New offerings this year include increased artificial intelligence resources, a Beach Community Meal Bundle for commuters and an app that allows students to order lower-cost prescriptions online.

Dr. Kensaku Nakayama and Dr. Lijuan Li were recently recognized by local and state government officials for their work at The Beach.

CNSM faculty are tackling climate change head on by advancing clean energy and protecting wildlife. Their research informs policy and drives innovation while opening doors for under-resourced student researchers whose communities often are the first and hardest hit by global warming.
