Since 2018, the University of Liberia College of Health Sciences (ULCHS) has steadily expanded its academic offerings, adding Public Health and Midwifery programs to the long-standing Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy. With this growth came the realization of a pressing need to migrate from a mostly paper-based data collection to a robust data management system supporting the college's burgeoning research and administrative demands.

Experiential Learning and Assesment Lab - ELAB
Campers from Montserrado Camp 2024 collaborate on a physics experiment during their lab session.
Every year, July 29th, 30th, and August 29th have witnessed a wave of emotions overwhelming the campuses hosting Liberia’s biggest and most anticipated event in science education—Camp xSEL. As campers from the country’s fifteen counties arrive, the air fills with smiles, laughter, and countless hugs. Departures are marked by many teary moments, often leaving camp staff and campers with watery eyes. These moments, brimming with joy, excitement, and a touch of sadness, embody the essence of Camp xSEL: a place where campers, instructors, and staff come together, united by the shared dream of shaping Liberia’s future. Here, young minds aspire to become the next generation of highly trained midwives, doctors, nurses, microbiologists, and much more. read more......
"It was my first time engaging with Camp xSEL through the Maryland Camp. Although my initial reaction was mixed, I quickly realized that when young people are provided with the right materials and tools, they produce outstanding results. The critical thinking activities were not only journey down memory lane but also an excellent way to connect with the students outside of MEL."
