The purpose of this research was to learn how students in an introductory high school biology class responded to active learning rather than lecture. Active learning is a form of instruction that emphasizes interactions with peers and instructors and involves a cycle of activity and feedback where students are given consistent opportunities to apply their learning in the classroom. By doing this it allows the students to engage in real world experiences, gain constructive knowledge, and use the world around them as a learning environment.

Students at the physics department at Loyola are among the most active on campus in terms of their involvement with research, commitment and participation in various outreach programs mainly aimed at energizing school kids towards science. They also participate in on-campus events such as the President's open house and the Monroe Rededication Ceremony. The Loyola physics students fully deserved their recognition as a "distinguished" chapter by the National Student Physics Society.
Loyola Environment Program students attended the South Central Geological Society of America conference 2016 in Baton Rouge.
