2007 Scholars |
The
NSF-STEP Guest Lecture Series
were a huge
success as Eastfield College students, faculty,
and staff were treated to numerous interesting
lectures from various
specialists in the field of science.
The purpose of these lectures were
to heighten the level of enthusiasm of Eastfield
students in science.
This innovative learning experience began in
fall of 2007.
Since then, NSF-STEP has hosted about two lectures
per month.
Pizza, tea, and cookies also provided at each
lecture presentation.
As the word spread, for each succeeding presentation,
the room was filled to capacity with students
eager to learn more about science. These lecture
presentations were funded by the NSF-STEP grant.
