SCIENCE CLUB
Science Club was founded to increase awareness and general likeability of the sciences. We do this by taking our science van out to numerous schools across the county, from high school to elementary, and performing simple yet exciting demonstrations. This sparks the interest of the students here at SVC, as well as the students at the schools we visit. We also have fundraisers on campus and go on several field trips to witness various scientific events -- from touring a new exhibit to attending breakthrough lectures at universities. The Club is based on the Mount Vernon Campus. Contact Chuck Stevens, Roxanne Finney
