• Since CLS Department prides itself for being unique in the nation in offering clinical experience on campus in house, there is a great need for newer laboratory instrumentations and equipment to run the labs.  Although, we had several centrifuges replaced and have a new camera for microscopic teaching, at the present time we are still in desperate need of hematology, coagulation and chemistry analyzers.  We are also in need of one more office space in order to conduct business more efficiently.
