WSSU Geoscience Initiative (WGI)- NSF Funded
Purpose
To provide information on a WSSU project that will increase the knowledge and perhaps interest of African-American and other minority students, parents and teachers about the geosciences, a word seldom used in every day conversation but touches a large number of activities related to land, air and water.
Two Goals
1 - To increase the exposure and participation of primarily African-American and other minority students, teachers, university faculty members, and communities in geoscience education and research at WSSU.
2 - To transform the knowledge gained through the programs into the foundation for establishing effective geoscience curriculum and research agendas to attract new students in pursuing advanced degrees and careers in the geoscience fields.
