School of Education E-newsletter

In response to the growing concern that our state, region, and nation are in jeopardy of loosing its preeminence in science and technology,  The Citadel is taking the lead in promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) disciplines at all levels of the educational continuum (kindergarten through college).  Recognizing that the erosion of our national prowess in the STEM disciplines is a major concern for the Lowcountry region and the state of South Carolina,  the Schools of Education, Engineering, and Science and Mathematics at The Citadel are joining together to establish a STEM Education Center.   Our vision is for these three Schools (Education, Engineering, Science and Mathematics) to cooperatively develop an interdisciplinary educational STEM Center making The Citadel the recognized leader in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education in the state and region.  The first activity of this new center took place on April 23rd with The Citadel hosting a luncheon and workshop for area school leaders to solicit their input and support for this Lowcountry STEM initiative.
