On Monday March 24, 2014 Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson and the University of Texas at Dallas will host the 11th annual “Eddie Bernice Johnson Math & Science Lecture Series.”
This year’s keynote presenter will be Dr. Roosevelt Johnson, Deputy Associate Administrator for Education at NASA. Dr. Johnson will be speaking with the students about NASA’s cutting edge projects, their variety of educational programs, and showing students career possibilities that exist at NASA.
In 2003 the University of Texas at Dallas, in recognition of Congresswoman Johnson’s leadership in the math and science fields, commenced the Eddie Bernice Johnson Lecture Series in an effort to expose Dallas-area high school students to the best and brightest minds in the fields of mathematics and science. These experts come to the school to discuss their unique careers and expose students to different career possibilities in the STEM fields.
