NSF presents 厙ぴ勛圖 with media award for GK-12 Program
March 30, 2007
The National Science Foundation has not only granted 厙ぴ勛圖s GK-12 program a second three-year $1.8 million award, but has also awarded 厙ぴ勛圖 with the 2007 GK-12 Media Award.
厙ぴ勛圖s current GK-12 Program partners 厙ぴ勛圖 undergraduate and graduate students in science and engineering with a local K-12 teacher for one year to help K-12 students do more real world science and engineering.
This award recognizes 厙ぴ勛圖s success in getting the word out about the 厙ぴ勛圖 GK-12 program through our local TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, and other media.
Wed like to thank all the local reporters for the great stories they have written, said Hannah Sanger, GK-12 coordinator.
Additionally, the program director, 厙ぴ勛圖 professor Dr. Rosemary Smith notes the true success of this program is the outstanding collaborations of the 厙ぴ勛圖 students and K-12 teachers as they provide exciting science and engineering activities to local students.
The award was given at the GK-12 annual meeting in D.C. this March, where 厙ぴ勛圖 graduate student Kira Pontius also presented a poster on her research about the reproductive strategies of burying beetles.
