We need to cultivate entrepreneurial attitudes since we recognize that the State support as well as the support of the populace may shift toward those institutions that show success. All tenure track faculty have terminal degrees in appropriate fields. All programs serve students in other majors with minors. Faculty seek extramural funding for projects. Faculty organize and operate on-campus summer camps, contests and involve themselves in elementary and secondary science fair judging.
Faculty serve as consultants to the region when called upon to do so.
Attend and present research findings at regional and national meetings. Accept positions as officers on regional and national organizations. Additional faculty are needed in all the disciplines to maintain reasonable teaching loads. Lack of adequate library holdings limits the on-campus research activities. Inadequate research facilities prohibit research which requires a long term dedicated space.
