This Symposium will feature speakers whose projects have been funded by the National Science Foundation to support undergraduate education. These projects (TUES, ATE, NSDL, Noyce Scholarship Program, S-STEM, etc.) have developed new educational materials, new strategies for delivering educational material, meaningful evaluation of learning gains, means to support faculty development, scholarships for STEM students, and so forth, all aimed toward improving the learning of chemistry or other STEM disciplines by undergraduate students with diverse backgrounds and career aspirations. A NSF Program Officer will present an overview of current NSF programs and will participate in a question/answer session.
Presider: Robert Boggess, Radford University
