Outreach Programs
Project RISE " Rural Integrated Science Education" by S. Lunsford and W. Slattery, to teachers (pursing a masters degree in science) expanding around Wright State University over 150 mile radius. 24 Teachers were participants, impacting over 5000 students in science education. Also, web course developed and attached with RISE experience to ensure that all science experiences taught in RISE are being utilized in the teachers’ school classrooms.
Chem Demo Program. This program, led by Profs. Emeriti Rubin Battino and John Fortman, with the assistance of Andrea Burns, students, and staff, reaches roughly 7500- 8000 high school, junior high, and grade school students each year with multiple presentations in December and March. It is, so far as we can determine, the largest chemistry outreach program in the nation (and possibly the world). Students are shown demonstrations of exciting chemical phenomena, with a lively dialog of information and humor.
Student clubs and activities
CLASS Project Club " Developing chemistry lessons for students with physical disabilties" , S. Lunsford, coordinating with teachers of education, college of science and mathematics and office of disability at WrightStateUniversity.
Chemistry Club. The Chemistry Club is a highly active student organization. Its activities include 30-minute meetings every other week, a monthly calendar available to all students, presentations of posters at scientific meetings, field trips to chemical companies, an active Demo Team that presents shows to area elementary schools; plus assorted volunteer and social events.
