Drs. Linda B. Hayden and Darnell Johnson represented Elizabeth City State University with lectures on "Remote Sensing Training for Middle School through the Center of Excellence in Remote Sensing Education" and "The Impact of Competition on Raising Mathematics Competency at Camelot Elementary School in Chesapeake, Virginia". Also in attendance were Dr. Steve Hale and Dr. Barrett Rock from the University of New Hampshire and Ryan Lawrence, a senior chemistry major from ECSU. Dr. Hale and Dr. Hayden presented a poster titled "Engaging Minority University STEM Education Professors in the Science of Climate Change" as a report on the NASA NICE project #NNX11AM97A.
