From people with amputated limbs to overdose victims, a wide range of people will benefit from the projects developed by Virginia Commonwealth University College of Engineering students this past year.

Chandak Ghosh’s PACME selection inspired him to pursue a career in public health.

Teams of students in university’s Pre-Accelerator Program will showcase their ideas — including a solution for package theft and applying gamification to study for medical boards.

The scholarship, and the Marquita Aguilar Walk-A-Thon that helps fund it, continues to support students — and change lives.

The annual events showcase the best graduate and undergraduate student research.

The Virginia Commonwealth University School of Nursing has partnered with Southside Virginia Community College and Rappahannock Community College to offer accelerated coursework to registered nurses who are students at both community colleges, providing them a faster path to obtaining a bachelor’s degree. Students will be enrolled concurrently at VCU and their respective community colleges.

VCU students are constructing a community garden at Carver Elementary to help fight food insecurity.

More than 100 engineering designs, prototypes, innovations and entrepreneurial business cases, created by engineering and business students, will be on display at the Virginia Commonwealth University College of Engineering’s annual Capstone Design Expo.
