SENCER Workshop Hosted by UNG

Next week the University of North Georgia will be hosting a workshop facilitated by a group from the SENCER Center for Innovation-South, which is housed at UNC-Asheville. SENCER (Science Engagement for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities; http://www.sencer.net/index.cfm) is a national program that offers courses and programs that connect STEM content to critical local, national, and global challenges.

In short, the SENCER approach aims to make science more accessible, real, and relevant to society. This workshop will support our mission of promoting academic excellence and preparing students as leaders in a diverse and global society. While a large focus of the workshop will be on STEM education, there will also be opportunities to develop community-university partnerships with the goal of addressing issues in our community.

The Gainesville workshop will take place on Tuesday, September 13 in the Robinson Ballroom (Room B):

10:30 AM – 11:30 AM: Introduction to SENCER

11:30 AM – 1:00 PM: Lunch Break/Networking Lunch (please RSVP so we know how much food to order!)

1:00 PM – 3:30 PM: Hands-On Workshop
