In Fall 2017, Sam Houston State University was fortunate to receive an award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to establish a STEM Center on our campus. This award (proposal no. 1725674) was made by the Division of Undergraduate Education of the NSF, part of the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program. Over the next five years, more than $2 million of NSF IUSE funding will transform the way our institution prepares SHSU undergraduates for STEM careers.
