Carolina Biological Supply, a Burlington, N.C., company that provides materials to the Elon Academy, has produced a video highlighting the science work of faculty member Mat Gendle, assistant professor of psychology.
This is the third year that Carolina has donated Carolina’s Perfect Solution® sheep brains and classroom dissection kits to the Academy. Gendle leads the Elon Academy’s summer dissection lab.
“Our partnership with Elon University has been mutually beneficial throughout the years,” said Allan Morrison, head of preserved materials at Carolina. “We are very pleased to have the opportunity to support their hands-on dissection activities with our Carolina’s Perfect Solution® brains and help serve our local high school students during this exciting summer program,” said Morrison.
Started in 2006 by Elon University, the Elon Academy provides academically gifted, local high school students with the opportunity to enhance their education, build leadership skills, and develop a strong sense of social responsibility. The students have financial need and come from families with no history of college education.
Carolina takes a collaborative approach to learning and educational advancement and has supported science educators for more than 80 years.
