Initiatives for Community Engagement Through Applied Research (iCETAR)
iCETAR primary purpose is to strengthen CoSM’s relationship with the local community and several community stakeholders in the imediate community and surrounding counties (schools, businesses, city officials and industry). We are currently reaching the surrounding counties through our relationship and strategic partnership with the Center for South Georgia Regional impact (SGRI). We aspire to become the primary source of information and services related to STEM research in the College of Science and Mathematics and the community.
