Community Partnerships Yield Real-World Benefits
Students in the College of Sciences and Engineering can expect hands-on experiences that reflect the work they will do in their future careers.
A case in point is the developing partnership between Wilmington University and the City of Dover stormwater management team. Dr. Esosa Iriowen, chair of Undergraduate Sciences and Engineering Studies, and Dr. Diane Bansbach, director of Mathematical Sciences, met with the team to gain insights into the city’s environmental operations. Dr. Iriowen has served on numerous boards in education, energy and community leadership and is committed to promoting positive change through partnerships. Dr. Bansbach is an accomplished advocate for practices that make math accessible.
Their collaborative goal is to develop pathways for internships and fieldwork that will give students a strong start in building careers in STEM and environmental sciences. The Dover stormwater initiative benefits the community through academic partnership and gives students real-world experience that prepares them to enter the workforce ready to contribute and lead.
