Donations Roll in to Flood-Impacted Schools

A West Virginia State University chemistry professor is helping to collect science equipment to donate to schools whose labs were damaged in floods earlier this year. Professor Micheal Fultz tells The Gazette-Mail that he has received tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment, including microscopes, glassware and drying ovens. Fultz says the donations will go to at least three schools: Elkview Middle and Herbert Hoover High in Kanawha County and Richwood Middle in Nicholas County. Fultz says the donors have included West Virginia State alumni, Marshall University, Dow, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Preiser Scientific, science equipment distributor VWR and others.
