Through various outreach groups and events, we do our utmost to give back to the Niagara community.
Outreach Programs
An essential part of the Faculty of Mathematics & Science’s mission is to reach out to schools, and the community, in order to collectively promote science awareness, appreciation and proficiency.
We strive to provide elementary and secondary school teachers, students and parents with various opportunities to:
- Generate among our youth an enthusiasm for, and an interest in, science
- Demonstrate the important role that science plays in an increasingly technological world
- Raise students levels of excellence in science
- Encourage more students to pursue science at a post-secondary level
- Encourage more students to consider a career in the sciences
