Mission 

The CNSM Office of Education and Public Outreach promotes interest and literacy in science. We provide challenging and high-quality science programs for K-12 students, teachers, and the community through formats that include UAF undergraduates, graduate students, staff, and faculty as science ambassadors. Through these activities, participants personally experience science and develop critical thinking skills necessary for lifelong learning.

2)  To train undergraduate and graduate students in science education and outreach practices

3)  To provide K-12 teachers with professional development opportunities

4)  To provide opportunities for, and assistance with, faculty outreach efforts
