Math and Science Programs To Receive Boost From Grants By Rachel Hodges Staff Writer The UNC system received $21.3 mil lion to develop programs in science and math in 17 rural school districts in east ern North Carolina, Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., announced Tuesday. The N.C. Partnership for Improving Mathematics and Science received a $l3 million grant from the National Science Foundation. The grant will be coupled with $8.3 million from the U.S. Department of Education also allocated for the pro gram. Edwards spokesman Carlos Monje said the grant, which will be a joint effort between Eastern Carolina University, Fayetteville State University, UNC- Wilmington and UNC-Pembroke, will be “a partnership for improving mathe matics and science.” “(The UNC system) is doing great work to promote science and math in North Carolina’s schools,” Edwards stat ed in an e-mail. “This assistance will help the univer- CENTER From Page 1 for the two facilities should be consid ered further. “They’re very good ideas, and we ought to explore them.” But officials from both universities and the hospital must present a clear plan and firm up the projects’ directions before lawmakers can give them prop er consideration, he said. sity (system) make a major difference in the lives of our children.” UNC-system President Molly Broad stated in a press release that while the grant shows North Carolina’s determi nation to strengthen public schools, it also “reflects the university (system’s) growing success at attracting federal grants and contracts to leverage scarce state dollars.” The grant focuses on schools in areas that are low-income in comparison to state averages, Monje said. The program is meant to increase student learning in science and math while decreasing the achievement gap. Programs Mso are being launched to aid teacher development and to create after-school programs for students in pre-K through 12th grade. The program wifi attempt to get more parents involved - encouraging partici pation with activities like family astron omy nights, nature walks and opportu nities to talk to scientists. The grant also will support a state advisory board to connect local and state agencies. Redwine said he is confident that offi cials wifi be able to do the necessary research and present legislators with a viable proposal next session. Once that is accomplished, the funding will be approved with ease, he said. “It will be one of the first items to go next year,” Redwine said. “That thing will sail through here like a knife through hot butter.” But Lee said he thinks legislation funding the cancer treatment center might run into roadblocks next session.

Mathematics and Science Education Network. The 17 eastern North Carolina dis tricts involved in the program support more than 200,000 students. The program is part of President Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” educa tion plan. One facet of the program is to increase the education of teachers. It will help “build a cadre of lead teachers who will remain in the district to serve as coaches for their peers,” Holoman said. There are also high hopes the pro gram will help North Carolina in its goal of having the highest-ranked pub lic schools in the nation by the year 2010, according to a press release put out by the UNC-system Office of the President.

Many people still visit the library even in the digital age, she said. The library allows them to do more than check out books. They can meet with librarians, hold study groups and take classes. Estroff also stressed the importance of a campus library. “No facility is more important than the libraries,” she said. “The campus could not function without the library. It is the heart of the University.” The Web cast has been archived, and it can be viewed at the Health Sciences Library Web site, http://www.hsl.unc.edu.
