all!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We hope you’ll join us for this week’s STEMinar “Fostering mutually beneficial relationships among STEM faculty, students, and the community through service-learning” by yours truly.
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😊</span> I’ll be discussing strategies for how faculty can use service-learning specifically in STEM classes and have great relationships with community partners. We’ll be in person in SH115 and there
will be cookies and coffee provided, as usual, starting at 3:15PM. If you’re just joining for the talk, we’ll be starting promptly at 3:30PM. You can join online or in person.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ALSO<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to draw your attention to our <a href="https://www.fgcu.edu/cas/centers/whitaker/facultyresources#WhitakerCenterMiniGrantApplications">
STEM mini-grant program</a>! It is back and we hope you and your students will apply. The application is a simple one and is due by 11/15 for consideration for fall 2021 funding. We’ll also be collecting applications again in the spring for spring/summer
funding. Those will be due 2/1/22. <o:p></o:p></p>
