Network of STEM Education Centers (NSEC)

Addressing calls from the White House (Olson & Riordan, 2012) and National Academies (Singer et al., 2012) for multi-institutional approaches to transform undergraduate STEM education, we are building a national network of STEM Education Centers. These centers serve as the campus hub for improving the STEM learning experience for students, broadening participation in STEM, understanding teaching and learning, broadening the impact of campus research, and supporting national and regional scale improvement in STEM education.

 To join this effort:

• Email Kacy Redd if you would like to join our listserv and participate in this national discussion.

• Take a survey about your center. The information you provide will be used to showcase your center in a STEM Education Centers website describing the range of centers currently in operation. View examples of the public center profiles.

As of August 2016, NSEC currently links 149 STEM Education Centers (SEC) at 126 institutions (from 246 SECs at 182 institutions identified to date). Yellow stars indicate centers with a profile at NSEC. Blue stars are centers that are engaged with NSEC through meetings and the listserv.
