Level I, from pg. 1 Chancellor William H. Wagoner said the Col lege of Arts and Sciences will be most af fected. A campus planning committee chaired by Dr. Charles L. Cahill, vice chancellor for academic affairs, is reviewing all recommen dations for graduate level expansion. These recommendations will then be forwarded to the UNC Board of Governors. "We hope to have new graduate programs established for student enrollment by 1987,” said Wagoner. "There is a lengthy process of documentation and agency approval involved with implementing new graduate studies.” University officials expect UNCW’s new academic status to attract even more students and faculty. By the end of this decade. Wagoner projects student enrollment to be as high as 12,000. UNCW’s current enrollment is 5,535. Other Level I universities include Appa lachian State University, A & T State Uni versity, Central University, East Carolina University, UNC-Charlotte, and Western Carolina University. Only three campuses are classified a step above Level L UNC-Greensboro is classified as a doctoral-granting university, and N.C. State and UNC-Chapel Hill are both classi fied one step higher as research universities. R. Brantley Chancellor William H.

UNCW’s math/science center to aid area teachers The University of North Carolina at Wil mington has been designated as one of eight centers being established across the state to improve teacher training and instruction in mathematics and science. By summer 1985, UNCW hopes to be offer ing courses for middle and high school math and science teachers in Southeastern North Carolina who wish to strengthen their skills or to become certified in a subject they may be teaching but for which they do not hold certification. The center at UNCW is part of the UNC Math-Science Education Center Network, a $750,000 program funded by the 1984 Gen eral Assembly. This allocation continued and expanded work begun by the 1983 General Assembly which established the network and two pilot programs, one at UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC-Charlotte.

Mar. 26-28: Apr. 2-4: Apr. 11-14: May 17: May 18: The eight math and science education cen ters are located within constituent institu tions of The University of North Carolina. Each center is required to plan and conduct education and research activities with the public schools. A coordinator for the network is located at UNC-Chapel Hill. Dr. James K. McGowan, associate vice chan cellor for academic affairs and director of graduate studies at UNCW, has been named acting director of the UNCW math and sci ence education center. In announcing the formation of the cen ter, he explained that UNCW was allotted $40,000 for the 1984-85 academic year to plan the program, identify a director, identify special needs of teachers in Southeastern North Carolina, and develop an advisory board made up of representatives of business, public education and higher education. "As a result of publicity about the forma tion of the center, we hope to develop a list of teachers interested in this program,” McGowan said. "We will try to identify coun ty by county some specific needs, then focus on those specific needs and groups. Each center will operate on a year-round basis to provide education and training for middle grades and high school math and science teachers. Special workshops, summer institutes, graduate credit courses, and other instructional activities will be provided to help update and recertify teachers and to im prove instruction. Participants in center instructional ac tivities will consist of two groups. The first group will be (1) teachers currently "teaching out-of-field” who need certification, (2) those who wish to prepare to teach in the fields of math and science, and (3) those who are cer tified to teach in other fields but wish to change to math or science. The second group will consist of teachers who (1) currently hold "A” certificates but who wish or need "G” certification in math or science, (2) currently hold "G” certificates but who wish or need 6th-year certificates, (3) wish to add "gifted and talented” certification to an existing certificate, and (4) wish to add a certificate in remedial instruction in math or advanced placement teaching in math to an existing certificate. Each center is expected to serve a minimum of 75 teachers per year. The network of cen ters will become fully operational during 1985-86 upon allocation of additional funds by the Greneral Assembly. The Board of Gov ernors of The University of North Carolina has designated funding for the Math-Science Center Network as the number two priority in its budget request to the General Assembly. Other center sites are Western Carolina University, Appalachian State, UNC-Char lotte, NCA&TAJNC-Greensboro, UNC-Chapel Hill, Fayetteville State, and East Carolina. Teachers in Southeastern North Carolina who would like additional information or would like to sign up for courses as they become available are urged to contact Dr. James K. McGowan, director of graduate studies, UNCW, 601 S. College Rd., Wil mington, N.C. 28403. M. Cunningham Endowed scholarship established (L-R) Tyrone Rowell, UNCW director of development services, and Chancellor William H. Wagoner discuss a new scholarship made available by a recent donation from Ed Mayorga, president of R & E Electronics. The $10,000 endowed scholarship is earmarked primarily for a minority student in pre-engineering studies.
