Showing off Stan State’s parklike setting and talking about its small classes and academic range is a good gig — even if you have to do it walking backwards. Just ask Lead University Ambassador Jairius Matthews, who helps arrange tours for the 16,000 or so future college students who visit each year.
Stan State has received a $745,997 National Science Foundation (NSF) award to fund programs and projects to provide educational opportunities for math and science majors pursuing a K-12 teaching credential.
In all, six California State University campuses received a combined $7.1 million in funding from the NSF's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, which were announced July 30.
