Education Forum Led by O'Leary
Secretary of Energy Hazel O'Leary met with educational leaders from the
community at Jefferson Lab on Saturday May 15, 1996, to discuss fostering math
and science education in the Tidewater area. The Community Education Forum
included representatives from area universities and local public schools who
send their students to Jefferson Lab to participate in its k-12 education
program and its undergraduate student intern program. "This forum clarified for
all participants the uniqueness, value, and quality of our involvement in
education at all levels, and Jefferson Lab's importance as a resource to the
community," said Beverly Hartline, Associate Director for Project Management and
forum participant. Many participants gave testimonials about their
experiences at Jefferson Lab and the benefits of its science education programs
for both teachers and students. The forum vowed to meet again in the future to
discuss implementing five priorities for science education.
