Fergus will be returning to Beckman on Monday, May 4th from 10:30-11:15am in the Atrium.  We hope you can stop in to meet him and see him demonstrate his scent work skills!

Fergus is a 7 year old male Border Terrier.  He has been certified as a therapy dog with the Alliance for Therapy Dogs since 2023. He has enjoyed being a reading assistance dog at the Urbana Neighborhood Connections Center many times, and has brought his friendly spirit to the Champaign Public Library, the Urbana Free Library, the Autumn Fields Assisted Living facility, Carle Foundation Hospital, and the Unitarian Universalist Church of Urbana-Champaign. He is looking forward eagerly to more visits at the Beckman Institute.

In addition to therapy dog activities, Fergus trains and trials in the sport of canine scent work.

Fergus will also be at the Beckman Institute on Monday, July 6th from 10:30-11:15am.

Beckman's facilities and operations and information technology teams, with the support of many others, have recently completed the renovation of 14 labs, three non-lab spaces, several roof repairs and upgraded the building’s network and card access systems. This work has also included the renovation of the Illinois Polymer Maker Lab, which will soon become a new Beckman core facility.

These projects totaled $14.8 million in improvement for Beckman. We want to celebrate these accomplishments with you!

Please join us for brief remarks, a breakfast buffet and tours of many spaces. This event will offer a sprinkling of science, but is especially a celebration of everyone who helped make the renovations possible.

Remarks will begin at 9:20 a.m. in the Beckman garden, weather permitting.

PIs of renovated labs include:

• Cunjiang Yu (ECE, lab focuses on soft electronics)
• Steve Maren (psychology, Emotion and Memory Systems Lab)
• Mark Cohen (CI MED, Translational Oncology and Regenerative Medicine Laboratory)
• Yun-Sheng Chen (ECE, Multimodality Imaging Research Lab)
• Caterina Gratton (psychology, lab focuses on the brain's perceptions and memories)
• Dan Krogstad (MatSE, Illinois Polymer Maker Lab)

Metered parking is available in the parking deck just east of the Beckman Institute.

Add this event to your calendar.

Join us at noon on Wednesdays this fall for yoga with a view! All sessions are free and this date will be held in Beckman room 1005. All are welcome to bring their own mat!
