A brief description of the institution’s formal community partnership to advance sustainability:

"The scope for STEM CORE is derived from its vision and mission in the realms of STEM education, outreach, and research. All three are weighted equally within the scope of STEM CORE, and includes training and professional development. The activities of STEM CORE are in service to and in collaboration with our stakeholders. Stakeholders include but are not limited to Texas Tech University faculty, staff, and administrators, K-12 educators, and informal science community partners.

Although STEM CORE aims to have a role at the national level in STEM issues, the primary mission of STEM CORE is locally based, that is, to improve STEM outreach, research, and education at Texas Tech University and surrounding communities. STEM CORE acts to facilitate interaction, community, and knowledge development in outreach, research, and educational activities among stakeholders.

RESEARCH: STEM CORE helps to identify individuals and facilitate interdisciplinary teams in the development of research projects, ideas and grants, and aids in the creation of broader impact statements and boilerplate information as appropriate for STEM grants. STEM CORE will actively facilitate sustainability efforts.
