Dr. Robert Bowen and graduate student, Elise Lombard, demonstrate an experiment to prospective students.
(Cleveland)- This past week, Truett McConnell University (TMU) hosted its second STEM Day for prospective students from surrounding school districts. The event included hands-on activities and individual demonstrations in an effort to promote STEM-related fields and TMU science facilities and opportunities to future college students.
“Hands-on learning is vital to the recruitment process of today’s prospective students,” said Bryan Wisdom, TMU Director of Admissions. “They have a strong desire for a more pragmatic and interactive education that equips them with the skills they need wherever God calls them.
Dr. Robert Bowen, Associate Professor of Physiology and Dean of the Pilgram Marpeck School of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) said,” do a lot of really cool stuff in our academic programs every day; it is very nice to share that excitement with STEM Day students.”
TMU will continue offering STEM Days each fall and spring semester. “The goal of STEM Day,” offered Bowen, “is to accomplish three things: meet new students and build relationships for the future; share the vast opportunities the Pilgram Marpeck School of STEM has to offer future scientists and scholars; and provide an experience that transcends the science experience and glorifies Jesus Christ as the Lord of creation.
