As communication majors, the world of science is unfamiliar to us. We have limited interaction outside of a few general education classes. We wanted to get outside our comfort zones and explore new areas of study. We investigated four areas including zoology, environmental biology, computer science and astronomy. The world of science is a fascinating place, filled with interesting facts, progress and people who want to make the world a better place. Come learn about the fascinating world of science with us!
Zoology? That’s just about animals!
“Lots of research that is student focused to help them understand what they are studying, as well as preparation for Grad-School” Dr. Mike Pyle One thing undergraduate students in Olivet’s Zoology department get is hands-on research experience.

While it wasn’t until the early 1500s that humans began to…
Computer Science at Olivet
Embracing a Technology-Based Future Since its first public debut in 1974, the personal computer has helped redefine what society believed to be possible within the realm of human interaction and connectivity. What started off as a simple experiment in Pennsylvania evolved into a full-fledged lifestyle for Americans. Jobs have multiplied by the masses thanks to…
The Great, God-Given Outdoors
When you walk into Dr. Derek Rosenberger’s office, you are greeted by close to a hundred environmental books, plants of all kinds and tactfully placed pieces of driftwood. This checks out since he is a professor of biological science. Rosenberger joined full-time faculty at Olivet in 2016 and has been working to conserve the environment…
This project was created by Anna Kiehn, Elijah Lewis, Josh Bergia and Kaylee Palacio as part of a final project for the multimedia storytelling class At Olivet Nazarene University.
