The Center for Women in Science and Technology The goals of the Center For Women In Science And Technology are to engage, sustain and retain women in science and mathematics and to encourage the development of women to assume leadership roles in these fields. Wesleyan recognizes that the participation of women in science and technology fields is vital to our community and our nation and that aptitude in these areas must be encouraged from an early age. The Center provides opportunities for Wesleyan students to use their knowledge of science and mathematics by mentoring schoolchildren through the KISMET (Kids In Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology) program and serving as counselors for SPECTACLES math and science summer camps for Middle School girls. Other initiatives of the Center are aimed at developing mechanisms to support systemic improvements in the teaching and learning of science and mathematics. The Center is housed in the Munroe Science Center on the Wesleyan College campus.
The Lane Center for Community Engagement and Service The Lane Center for Community Engagement and Service was established in 2002 to become a focal point of community service and engagement in Central Georgia and to serve as a role model for college/community collaboration nationally. The Center has three goals: to promote and manage specific acts of community service and engagement through assessing community needs, working collaboratively with partners to secure funding for service projects, and coordinating those projects; to instill the spirit of service and engagement into our pedagogical processes; and to teach and model civic leadership and personal responsibility through conferences, workshops, and conversations sponsored by the Center. The Center is housed in Jones Hall on the Wesleyan College campus.
