The Center for Science and Environmental Education (CSEE) was established at Delta State University in 2000 to provide science education and environmental education outreach services by DSU faculty and staff to residents, schools, and other organizations within its 18 county service area. To fulfill this mission, CSEE has been charged with the responsibility of coordinating existing science and environmental education programs offered by DSU and formulating and implementing new programs that address these areas. This will ultimately lead to development of a comprehensive, sustainable support system for improvement of precollege science and environmental education in the Mississippi Delta. Current programming focuses on conducting professional development workshops in science and environmental education for preservice and inservice teachers, providing materials to support kit-based science curriculum implementation in K-12 classrooms, and developing environmental field trip opportunities for students. CSEE facilities including six ponds, a greenhouse, and office/lab building are located on a 10-acre parcel of land approximately one-half mile south of Merigold, Mississippi.
