  • Aurora University Course Catalog
    Aurora University Course Catalog AURORA UNIVERSITY History of Aurora University Aurora University traces its origins to the 1893 founding of a seminary in the small town of Mendota, Illinois. Though established initially to prepare graduates for ministry, the institution soon adopted a broader mission and moved to a new campus on the western edge of the nearby community of Aurora. With this change came a different name and a growing enrollment. When World War II ended, the campus population swelled again as veterans enrolled in the college’s innovative evening degree program. The 1970s and 1980s saw an expansion of curricular offerings in a number of professional fields and the awarding of advanced degrees in selected disciplines. These changes culminated in the 1985 decision to rechristen the institution Aurora University. History of George Williams College The roots of George Williams College run deep in the YMCA movement of the 19th century. In 1884, leaders from America’s “western” YMCAs gathered on the shores of Geneva Lake in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, to attend a summer training program. Two years later, the camp was incorporated, and the first parcel of the current Williams Bay campus was purchased. Since that time, “college camp” has been a source of inspiration, recreation, education and renewal for thousands of guests and students. In 1992, Aurora University and George Williams College traditions blended when the two institutions entered into an affiliation agreement that paved the way for a merger eight years later. Aurora University and George Williams College: A New Era Today, Aurora University is a private, independent, comprehensive institution with an enrollment of approximately 5,000 students.

    PUMA-STEM Summer 2021 Faculty Research Descriptions Biology: Name of Mentor: Jim Fackenthal, PhD Institution: Benedictine University Department: Department of Biological Sciences i. Please share a description of the research project the student will work on. Students in the Fackenthal group study regulation of tumor suppressor genes at the level of alternate mRNA splicing. Students will use cancer and non-cancer derived tissue culture cells to learn basic cell culture techniques, end-point and quantitative RT-PCR, ELISA, and flow cytometry. We explore the effects of DNA damage repair pathways and epigenetic genomic modifications on regulation of alternative splicing, cancer risk models, and therapy outcome predictions. Research could be in-person or remote at Benedictine University. Name of Mentor: Leigh Anne Harden, PhD Institution: Benedictine University Department: Department of Biological Sciences i. Please share a description of the research proJect the student will work on. The Harden Lab conducts integrative ecological research on reptiles and amphibians (herps). Our lab’s central research questions revolve around of how these organisms function and interact with their increasingly modified environment, by studying them on a physiological, behavioral, and spatial/temporal level. We use field-intensive (e.g. aquatic surveys) and laboratory-based (e.g. ELISAs, microscopy) approaches to investigate how abiotic factors influence the physiology, behavior, and habitat preferences of herps, with applications to their conservation and management. Research would be in-person/field research at Benedictine University. Name of Mentor: Tiara Perez Morales, PhD Institution: Benedictine University Department: Department of Biological Sciences i.
