I want to thank Dr. Orlando Taylor and all the organizers of the recent gathering of key players in the Howard University Learning Communities for STEM Academic Achievement on January 30th - 31st, 2009. In our efforts to share our success in innovative STEM education through learning communities and cutting edge technology new associations were made and past ones rekindled. Each of us has been rejuvenated toward our goal to strengthen the academic foundations of all of our students at our home institutions through cooperative, linked and hands-on communities in basic science, technology, engineering and math disciplines. In addition we encouraged collaborative projects in teaching and learning by communicating via the web between our campuses.

We have been enlighten by the successes of Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina and Wagner College on Staten Island, New York, while developing and adopting new concepts at Jackson State University and Xavier University of Louisiana. The experiences at Talladega College made us all wary of the obstacles to overcome for success. All in all we have touched the lives of some and hopefully will continue to be a part of each others lives as we plow forward to brighten the future of the next generation of college graduates.
