Southeastern Louisiana University will host the newly created Northshore Regional STEM Center on campus.
Led by Southeastern and Northshore Technical Community College, in partnership with Louisiana Regional Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Advisory Council, the Northshore Regional STEM Center will support the mission and goals of LaSTEM in alignment with stakeholders in the region to connect, collaborate, and build STEM opportunities to prepare tomorrow’s STEM workforce in response to the needs of all stakeholders.
The Northshore region is composed of Livingston, St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington parishes.
Director of the Northshore Regional STEM Center Wendy Conarro said that recent legislation created LaSTEM, a system of nine geographic areas strategically positioned across the state through which communities, parishes, multi-parish regions and the state can achieve improved STEM education, opportunity and advancement. Each of those nine areas hosts a Regional STEM Center.
The Northshore STEM Coalition will continue to act as the collaborative organization of stakeholders dedicated to improving STEM education and workforce opportunities in the Northshore region.
