Over the next 18 to 24 months the Schoodic Education and Research Center campus will become a different place, with a different "feel" and capable of supporting new kinds of programs. As Acadia Superintendent Sheridan Steele puts it, we will compress ten years of transformation into two. Some buildings will be remodeled and repurposed, other buildings will be removed, roads will be rerouted, and the campus will become greener in all senses of the word. Next summer the entire campus will be buzzing with construction work. Packing this much change into a short period of time has required a great deal of planning, involving everything from overall campus design to the kinds of tables we will have in new laboratory spaces.
At 7 PM on Saturday, November 14 Supt. Steele will come to Moore Auditorium to describe these plans and talk about the way that the campus will be transformed. Behind all of these changes, of course, are the programs that we run at SERC -- programs that the new campus is designed to support. To provide an overview of these programs, Supt. Steele will be joined by Kate Petrie ("Ranger Kate") who, who runs the Schoodic Education Adventure program at SERC, and Bill Zoellick of Acadia Partners, who works with park staff to develop programs focused on scientific research and teacher professional development. This talk is part of the "Second Saturday" series of monthly talks at the Moore Auditorium at the Schoodic Education and Research Center in Acadia National Park. The Schoodic Lecture Series is organized by Acadia National Park, Friends of Acadia and its Schoodic committee, and Acadia Partners for Science and Learning. The series features topics of community interest and normally takes place on the second Saturday of each month at SERC. There is no admission charge and the presentations are always open to the public.
