I do believe that a desire to better understand the world and those around us has deepened as we slowly begin to see the inoculation of a nation writhing from a deadly virus. Our quest to learn more must remain constant. Uncovering solutions to the globe’s greatest challenges and unlocking new discoveries that benefit humanity must continue to be among our greatest priorities.  \nWest Chester University is poised to play a pivotal role in the advancement of what can help heal our minds, bodies, and spirits at a time when it enrolls more than 4,000 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)  \nmajors, in addition to nearly 2,000 health science majors studying health and disease in the human body. The persistent study of the natural sciences, the social sciences, the mathematical and computational sciences, the applied sciences, and the health sciences will enable the next generation of WCU STEM graduates to help improve the quality of human life in public, private, and non-profit sectors. As we prepare to open our 176,000-square-foot Sciences & Engineering Center and The Commons in the fall, we have reached a defining moment in our 150 years as an educational community.  \nThe spring issue of West Chester University Magazine is dedicated to the journey of the College of Health Sciences and the College of the Sciences and Mathematics. These two colleges have not only prompted the distinct evolution of the sciences at this University, but each has made and continues to make an indelible impact on our region by graduating students who are much more than ready to solve the many challenges and mysteries present in our world today.  \nSincerely,  \nChristopher M.
