[Andy Resnick]

I'll start.

I'm an assistant professor in physics at Cleveland State University, and I participate in several collaborative STEM education programs with the colleges of education and engineering: CSUTeach (http://www.csuohio.edu/cehs/te/csuteach, developed in concert with UTeach), I am Co-PI on 1 funded (OpSTEM, http://csuw3.csuohio.edu/sciences/dept/mathematics/OpSTEMbrochure.pdf) and 1 pending (IUSE, http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2014/nsf14588/nsf14588.htm) NSF grant, and am currently working (with my colleagues) to create a stand-alone STEM education center.

My department's culture is also very education-inflected, primarily because of this: http://www.wiley.com/college/sc/halliday. Our SPS chapter does a lot of K-12 outreach activities with local STEM magnet/charter schools (with adult supervision).
