NextGenC3, located on SU’s campus, is a multi-discipline center that conducts research in multi-functional composites, educates students and outreach activities. Students involved in the program range from K-12 to Ph.D. With the collaboration of LSU the center is able to assist the students, research associates and faculty members of the center to achieve their prominence in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education and research.

 

The mission of the center is to increase the research and education activities at one of the largest HBCU graduating minority students in the fields of STEM.

 

Travel and lodging grants are available.
