¡Hey, Familia!

Hey, UTEP!

At long last ...

"Academics: NSF grant to help UTEP produce science teachers"

And The UTEP Prospector's Ms. Diana Arrieta has last week's story! :)

¡Adelante, Diana!


Snippet from the hard copy edition of Tuesday, November 16, 2010.


"To address the severe lack of science teachers affecting the country, UTEP was given a $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation to help produce more science - related educators.

"[S]said Eric Hagedorn associate professor of physics and head of the project, UTEP has not graduated a physics high school teacher in the past 20 years..."

"The Robert Noyce Scholarship Grant will provide a $10,000 scholarship per academic school year for the next five years for a selected number of juniors and seniors who plan to major in math or science with a minor in secondary education...

"UTEP was in tough competition to receive the grant and was one of 37 universities in the country to be awarded, Hagedorn said..."

Way to go guys!

For all UTEP's 4 - year graduation rate for incoming freshmen is still most likely artificially pegged at 2%!

Or less... :(


¡Ora, UTEP!

¡Adelante, Destino!

¡Ora, MEChA!
