Abstract
Scholarly Communication is a dynamic landscape, and we are continually evolving. Many scholarly communications activities have spun-off into their own departments, such as VT Publishing and Digital Imaging and Preservation Services, and Digital Library Development. Our focus is on supporting the creation and dissemination of scholarship.
Highlights
To succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society, all students need to develop their capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past.American ingenuity, built on a foundation of science and engineering, has led our country to the forefront of innovation and discovery in the 19th and 20th centuries and has changed the basis of our economy
The Board recommends that Congress pass and the President sign into law an act chartering a new, independent, and non-Federal National Council for STEM Education (Council)
The Board recommends that STEM education be provided to students in a coherent system that is vertically aligned across grade levels from pre-K through the first years of higher education
Summary
The Board, established by Congress in 1950, provides oversight for, and establishes the policies of, the National Science Foundation (NSF) It serves as an independent body of advisors to the President and Congress on national policy issues related to science and engineering research and education. The Board formally unveiled this action plan at the U.S Capitol Building with Members of Congress, stakeholder groups, and the public in attendance on October 3, 2007 This was on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik – an event that shocked the world and spurred the American people to take dramatic action to improve STEM research and education. We urge all Americans to recommit to ensuring our STEM education system prepares our children to sustain U.S preeminence in science and technology for the future
