This month, the Center for STEM Learning is proud to spotlight Dr. Carol Britson, Instructional Professor of Biology and Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies.

This summer, Dr. Britson received the Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS) President’s Medal of Honor, a prestigious national recognition honoring exemplary service to the HAPS community. Unlike many awards selected through a nomination or committee process, the President’s Medal of Honor is personally awarded by the current HAPS President to recognize a member whose contributions and service have made a meaningful impact on the organization.

Dr. Britson’s recognition reflects the same dedication to teaching, service, and student success that she brings to the University of Mississippi. Her leadership extends well beyond the classroom, contributing to undergraduate education at Ole Miss while also helping advance anatomy and physiology education at the national level.

Congratulations to Dr. Britson on this well-deserved recognition!

The HAPS Regional Conference is coming to the Duff Center this November! We’re excited to welcome anatomy and physiology educators to the Duff Center for a day of learning, collaboration, and connection.

The Center for STEM Learning is expanding its grant development efforts to create new opportunities for STEM teaching, learning, research, and collaboration. Several National Science Foundation (NSF) programs are currently being explored, each offering a different avenue for strengthening STEM education at the University of Mississippi and beyond.

Current areas of interest include Research Experiences for Teachers (RET), which provides opportunities for high school teachers to conduct research alongside university faculty and translate those experiences into project-based learning for their students; Research in the Formation of Engineers (RFE), which supports research into the teaching and learning processes that shape engineering thinking; and Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE), which supports innovative approaches to strengthening undergraduate STEM teaching and learning.

As these efforts develop, we are especially interested in connecting with faculty and campus partners who may want to contribute their expertise, ideas, or research interests. Interested in getting involved? Select the button below to connect with us and start the conversation!
