NSF awards Wesleyan over half a million dollars

 The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded $576,000 to Wesleyan College for its Math/Science Student Preparation and Retention Collaborative program in 2011. The first cohort of scholars began their undergraduate careers at Wesleyan last fall. The second cohort (pictured) arrived on campus August 13, 2012, a week before Wesleyan’s fall semester began.
