The Museum of Science's National Center for Technological Literacy® (NCTL®) and VCSU have completed a Memorandum of Understanding to bring quality standards-based engineering and technology education to K-12 schools throughout the United States. The goal is to improve the technological literacy of K-12 teachers nationwide and prepare qualified teachers to address the national shortage of technology educators. Under the agreement, VCSU will become the lead partner in a new K-12 initiative, "Closing the Technology & Engineering Teaching Gap," to increase the number of K-12 educators in technology and engineering who can effectively use NCTL materials.
The Office of Advancement at VCSU announced that an anonymous donor has provided the seed money necessary to establish a scholarship in honor of Dr. Ellen-Earle Chaffee who has announced her intention to leave the presidency after 15 years of service.
Larry Robinson, Executive Director of Advancement, said, "Dr. Chaffee has served with distinction for these years, and it is fitting and proper that we establish this scholarship in her honor." Contributions to the scholarship fund can be made by contacting the VCSU office of Advancement at 800-532-8641 ext. 37217 or by contacting Larry Robinson at larry.robinson@vcsu.edu.
VCSU President Ellen Chaffee recently presented the President's Distinguished Service Award to Jan Stowman, Mary Lee Nielson, Janet Schultz, and Dick Gulmon. This award, the highest honor that the president can bestow, was established to recognize partners and friends for their exceptional contributions toward the university's vision. The individuals recognized are not necessary alumni, but are strong supporters of VCSU, its programs and goals. In VCSU's history, only eleven other individuals have been recognized with the President's Distinguished Service Award.
