October 28, 2026 F&M Professor of Religious Studies John Modern is the recipient of a $250,000 grant from the John Templeton Foundation to build upon innovative work examining how AI shapes religious experience, cognition, and meaning-making. September 2, 2026 For Frances Taylor ’27, the Lancaster Vice project checked all the right boxes: collaborating with a faculty mentor, exploring how their two majors converge in the real world, and unearthing stories the city had forgotten. “I enjoy learning about hidden history that popular culture often overlooks,” Taylor said. August 18, 2026 F&M Professor of Biology Rob Jinks concocted the first course of its kind this summer: Brewing Science. The one-month intensive course and corresponding labs introduced students to the science and art of crafting beer from four fundamental ingredients: water, malted grain, hops, and yeast.
