UWSP Input into PSLC Mission Statement
John Droske and Robert Badger
The Polymer Science Learning Center is an ambitious effort involving the
collective
resources and collaboration of individuals at three regional sites. The
natural hub
for this collaboration is the University of Southern Mississippi, where
the original
ideas for the PSLC were conceived. The other two sites will provide
support to the
effort, with each site contributing from its strengths. In particular,
UWSP will assist
with the transfer of known experiments into a multimedia format. Many of
the targeted
experiments resulted from previous UWSP educational efforts and we have
both the
scientific and computer expertise to see these put into user-friendly
multimedia modules.
In addition, UWSP could assist with beta testing of the new multimedia
modules.
Although, the current funding level is insufficient for offering a
workshop at UWSP,
we would assist with planning of the workshops to be held at other sites
and we would
be willing to serve as workshop co-presenters at the workshops at USM or
CHF. If
additional funding was procured, UWSP could offer workshops as a third
regional
workshop site. Additional funding also would allow development of
additional new
experiments and other novel educational resources.

Our mission is to teach polymer science to students of all levels in the
most
memorable manner possible to better prepare them for both chemical careers
and
life in a polymer-dependent world.
Mary Virginia Orna
The mission of the PSLC is to empower students to create the trajectory of
the
future of polymers by using the context of the past and the technology of
the present.
Johnnie-Marie Whitfield
PSLC aims to become the best interactive web site in polymer education by
pioneering an innovative hands-on, inquiry-based, multi-faceted learning
environment for pre-kindergarten through adult explorers that will result
in
all polymer education ventures originating by choice with the PSLC.
USM Input into PSLC Mission Statement
Lon Mathias
To be the best multi-level, multimedia polymer education resource in the
world.
Nancy Warren
Use the talents of each contributing PSLC member, from PI to student
worker,
to build a comprehensive multimedia polymer education offering for global
use.
