January 2011


 From the Director...
Hi Everyone,


Snowy weather throughout Tennessee has impacted many of our everyday routines. I bring good news! If you have not had time to submit a mini-grant for the January 14, 2011 deadline, you now have more time. We have extended the deadline to January 21, 2011 with a decision date of March 1, 2011.

 

Keep warm!

Spring 2011 Educational Television Program Schedule

The Satellite and Webcasting Center of Middle Tennessee State University offers live enrichment programs for students and professional development workshops for educators throughout the academic year. On February 3, the MTSU Women In STEM (WISTEM) Center and the MTSU Department of Elementary and Special Education will present "What is a STEM Educator?  for teachers and guidance counselors. This program will be broadcast live at from 3:30 to 4:30 PM CST on Thursday, February 3, 2011. Educators are invited to attend this program in person. If interested, contact Dr. Jeremy Winters at jwinters@mtsu.edu.

 

The student enrichment program offered by WISTEM is called "WISE Women Engineer the Future." A panel of women engineers from middle Tennessee will discuss how they navigated their career path to a degree and a fulfilling career in engineering. They will also describe what attracted them to a career in engineering and why they find their career so satisfying. The panelists will answer questions from the live and remote audience. For further information about the student enrichment program, contact Dr. Judith Iriarte-Gross at jiriarte@mtsu.edu.
