Coalition for National Science Funding exhibit - April 14, 2010

CASC regularly participates as a sponsor in the annual Coalition for National Science Funding exhibit and reception. This year the CASC theme "CASC members lead STEM activities "was depicted through articles, reports, brochures and photos which described outreach activities aimed at supporting science, technology education and math at CASC members. The exhibit typically attracts Members of Congress ( the House Science Committee is usually well represented), Congressional staff from both House and Senate and NSF leaders.

This, our 14th year of participation, was a success. Several Congressional members and staff stopped by as well as Arden Bement and Cora Merritt ( the NSF Director and Deputy Director).
