What happens in the Office of Science Outreach?

Let’s begin with our mission statement.  The mission of the Edgewood Office of Science Outreach is to support the application of science education to address societal needs and to help create a scientifically literate population through interaction with communities and groups beyond the Edgewood Boundaries.

The Office of Science Outreach encourages and assists Edgewood faculty, staff and students to engage in science outreach activities targeted at our community’s youth, school teachers and general public that will increase their understanding, interest and involvement in science and environmental issues.

So there you have it. A very sound and completely thorough explanation of what we do and why we do it. In short, we offer science education, in fun and interesting ways, both on and off our campus, to community members.  AND we empower and support other campus groups to do the same.  AND, by supporting science both inside and outside the walls of our institutions, we hope to empower community members of all ages with knowledge and interest in how science makes our world a better place to live.
