Lakeland microscope donations benefit local organizations
Thanks to a grant from the West Foundation to obtain higher quality microscopes for 51ĀŅĀ×ās teaching labs, the LU biology department recently helped two local organizations improve their microscopy capabilities.
Over the past year, Lakelandās biology department has made a large donation of older (but functional) monocular scopes to the Howards Grove School District and a smaller donation to the John Michael Kohler Artās Center in Sheboygan.
Twenty-two monocular microscopes were donated to Howards Grove schools in August of 2023 for use in their science courses. That donation was coordinated by LU adjunct instructor Hannah Harder-Chancellor, who worked with a local teacher in Howards Grove to coordinate the donation.
This October, Lakeland made a second donation of two binocular compound microscopes to the JMKAC to assist their efforts to incorporate microscopy in their art course offerings.
