Main PageAASU Faculty Lecture Series to Focus on PRISM Initiative(Savannah, GA-October 24, 2006) The Robert I. Strozier Faculty Lecture Series at Armstrong Atlantic State University (AASU) continues with "Impact of PRISM: Concrete results in our schools, for our teachers, on our campus, and in our community," at 12:10 p.m., Friday, November 10, in University Hall, room 156, on the AASU campus, 11935 Abercorn Street in Savannah. The lecture is free and the public is invited. Sabrina Hessinger, assistant professor of mathematics at AASU, will lead a discussion on the impact of the Partnership for Reform in Science and Mathematics (PRISM). The discussion will include participant teachers and faculty. PRISM was established in 2003 after the National Science Foundation awarded a five-year, $34.6-million grant to the University System of Georgia to strengthen math and science programs in 13 schools districts in the state. Regional partnerships across the state were established with the goal to improve educational achievement levels and close the performance gaps among Georgia's students in science and mathematics. The statewide initiative involves seven University System of Georgia institutions. The Southeast Georgia regional partnership, the largest in the state, is comprised of AASU, the Coastal Georgia Community College, and the school districts of Chatham, Bryan, Camden and Glynn counties.
