Concurrent Technologies Corporation, an independent, non-profit, applied scientific research and development professional services organization donated over $142,000 worth of analytical chemistry equipment to the school. The Dean of the Kopchick College of Science and Mathematics Dr. Steve Hovan said that the donation will provide faculty and students with an instrument to “quantitively determine the basic building blocks of organic materials in nature,” and “it opens new avenues for research and provides our students with practical training on equipment commonly used in the industry.”
CTC has had a long-standing relationship with the university, having hosted several IUP students as interns and employed many alumni over the years.
