(Washington, DC) – Congressman Larry Bucshon, Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Research, held a hearing on Wednesday to examine industry and non-profit philanthropic science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education initiatives. One of the key witnesses to give testimony was Dr. Vince Bertram, President and CEO of Project Lead the Way (PLTW) and former Superintendent of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation (EVSC).

Congressman Larry Bucshon (IN-08) states:

I believe STEM education is an essential element in America’s economic growth and competitiveness,” said Congressman Bucshon.  “As we consider federal support for STEM education we must also recognize the importance of private sector and non-profit collaborations to STEM education. I am pleased that Dr. Bertram joined the committee to discuss Project Lead The Way’s innovative programming and its impact on education.”

President and CEO of PLTW and former Superintendent of the EVSC, Dr. Vince Bertram states:

“Project Lead The Way is committed to increasing student access to STEM education through rigorous, high-quality, in-school curriculum. The current STEM and skills gap crisis will require leadership, collaboration, and proven educational strategies,” said PLTW President and CEO Dr. Vince Bertram. “Project Lead The Way was proud to participate in Wednesday's important discussion, and we thank chairman Bucshon and the subcommittee for making STEM education a national priority.”
