Master of Arts in Biomedical Sciences - Bluefield University and VCOM

We are so proud of the MABS class of 2026!

We wrapped up an amazing year by celebrating the MABS Class of 2026 with the perfect spring cookout! Dr. Hill fired up the grill with his famous Cornell chicken, and we even had two very special guests join the fun — Lucky and Lollipop, the miniature donkeys who instantly stole everyone’s hearts.

Between the food, the games, and all the laughter, it was the best way to honor this incredible class. Here’s to the future MABS 2026 grads!

Thank you to Whiskey Springs Farm for bringing the donkeys out!

🍂 Celebrating Community at the MABS Harvest Luncheon! 🍂
We had an amazing time gathering with our MABS family for this year’s Harvest Luncheon. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect, share stories, and celebrate the season together.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this event so special! 🌟
📸 Check out some highlights from the luncheon below!

🎃 Happy Halloween from MABS! 🦴
We had a blast celebrating with creative costumes and a little anatomy flair. Everyone brought their A-game!
Hope your day is filled with fun, treats, and maybe a few spooky surprises. 👻✨

🎓🕸️ Because even grad students deserve a little Halloween magic... 🎃📚

Between exams and caffeine-fueled study sessions, we figured you could use a treat that doesn’t come in the form of another lecture. So, we brewed up some spooky little bundles of joy—aka Halloween treat bags—just for our master’s students. 🍬👻

They’re festive, they’re fun, and they’re probably the most colorful thing you’ve seen all semester. So, keep grinding and know that your spooky reward is coming. Just not today. 🎓👻
