Introducing the Anatomage table |
A new high-tech learning tool has arrived at the Raleigh County Campus. The Anatomage Table is the only fully segmented real human 3D anatomy system. Users can visualize anatomy exactly as they would on a fresh cadaver. Individual structures are reconstructed in accurate 3D, resulting in an unprecedented level of real accurate anatomy, dissectible in 3D. Anatomy is presented as a fully interactive, life-sized touch screen experience, in operatory bed form. The Table allows for exploration and learning of human anatomy beyond what any cadaver could offer. (Source: anatomage.com)
Pictured below: Biology Instructor Amanda Combs demonstrates how New River CTC students will use the Anatomage Table as part of their studies.

Greenbrier College Memorial Grove dedication |
A dedication ceremony celebrated the completion of the Greenbrier College Memorial Grove on Oct. 14 at New River CTC’s Greenbrier Valley Campus in Lewisburg. The landscaping project began in 2017 thanks to a grant from the Mary B. Nickell Foundation. Trees were planted to honor alumnae and their families, along with a central stairway, stone patio and seating area constructed on a hillside behind Greenbrier Hall. Greenbrier College alumnae gathered at the location surrounded by Dogwood, Japanese Red Maples, Redbud, and Spruce trees, as well as one Gingko tree dedicated by the family of Bettie Sydenstricker Woodward.
New River CTC President Dr. Bonny Copenhaver and Lewisburg Mayor Beverly White welcomed guests during the ceremony. A reception followed at The North House Museum of the Greenbrier Historical Society. Greenbrier College formed from Lewisburg Academy, established in 1812, and provided two years of high school and two years of college as a boarding school for young women from across the United States and abroad until 1972. The Greenbrier College Memorial Grove project was led by Willa Voltz Izzo and by Dr. Mary Montgomery Lindquist, a Greenbrier College alumna and member of the New River CTC Foundation Board of Directors.
