Math and science grant awarded to CSIU
The CSIU has been awarded a three-year Title IIB Math and Science Partnership grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, one of ten awards made throughout the state. The grant provides a two-week summer internship for 32 science teachers taught by faculty at Susquehanna University.
