How WCU’s Science Building Got a New Name with Dr. Brent Ruswick, Aaron Stoyack, and Sam Romeiser
While doing research on the history of medicine, Aaron Stoyack and Samuel Romeiser learned of Samuel Christian Schmucker’s promotion of eugenics. Dr. Ruswick encouraged Aaron to take action, leading to the formation of the student organization Students Against Schmucker (SAS). SAS wrote a letter to the WCU community and collected student and faculty signatures, leading to the renaming of Schmucker Science Center to The Science Complex.
