Sep 10 - Solvay's Sustainability RoadmapMechelle Engemann, Novecare Sustainability Manager, will speak on Solvay New Way sustainability initiative. Host: James Weatherall STEM Education is Key to Global Prosperity, Security and CompetitivenessTechnological innovation has been by far the primary driver of economic growth and security. However, the share of science, technology engineering and mathematics (STEM) Doctorates going to domestic students has gone from 75% in 1985 to less than half today. 15-year-olds nowadays rank 25th in math and 17th in science among OECD nations. CEOs cannot find enough STEM graduates. The US ranking in competitiveness went from 1st in 2008 down to 7th in 2012. If US security falters so will the stability of the civilized world. The need to strengthen STEM education has never been more urgent. Global security and prosperity are at stake, yet of the $300 billion in annual donations only a minor part goes into grassroots activities that nurture children's love for science. Please sponsor CM&E events. You will not just enhance your brand but also help support the local school reach of Chemistry, the development of tools for teachers, ACS scholarships and STEM programs which are fundamental global pillars for a brighter future.
