 Elizabeth City State University is a leader in math and science both regionally and globally. At home ECSU reaches out to pre-college students with the Mathematics and Science Education Network. We serve the surrounding counties Bertie, Hertford, Perquimans, Pasquotain, Gates, sometimes through grants we do Tarrell, Washington, Camden. And our whole idea of our program is that we underserve students and the math and sciences, getting them to come to ECSU to pursue math and science careers. So a lot of times they get to come here to see things that they wouldn't necessarily see at their individual school district as you have the Saturday Academy portion and with that you know meaning that they come on Saturdays during the academic year and then we have like a summer component where the kids come for a week during the summer. And so during that time we're trying to have people come in whether it's ECSU faculty, whether it's outside faculty, we invite people to come in from other universities. Primary like kids as a result do we end up coming to ECSU. The Center for Excellence in Remote Sensor Education and Research at Elizabeth City State has made a permanent mark on the world through groundbreaking research. And we have been able to come up with some pretty impressive results I must say. Using our remote sensing capability and satellite images, we have identified an ice shelf that has collapsed and has failed to reform. And that ice shelf is in the southernmost part of Antarctica, which makes it really exciting because it wasn't expected. As cold goes, that's as cold as it gets. And as a result of that work that the students performed under the guidance of Dr. LeComp and myself and other faculty members, they have Goddard Space Flight Center who was working along with us on this, validated the work, and then they petitioned the U.S. Archive Naming Commission to name that bay that resulted from the collapse and ice sheet after our university. And indeed that was approved. And so we now have the name Elizabeth City State University Bay imprinted on maps and globes that will be there forever. And so that's, you know, the impact of some of the work that we get done in our center. There aren't too many universities that have geographic features named after it, but we do. Somewhere out there is a young student who will bake the next great discovery, which is why the focus remains on the future and preparing students in science and math. We have moved aggressively into the middle schools and high schools to try to help those students make choices in terms of the math and science courses that they take and repair themselves so that when they graduate, they'll be ready to take on the challenging STEM courses in college. And we're getting to see changes now that there's a rise in the mathematics and science competency in northeastern North Carolina.
