Specialty Polymers, Inc. Donates to STEM Academy at Oregon State University


WOODBURN, Ore., Jan. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Specialty Polymers continues to support the STEM Academy at Oregon State University with an annual donation. The Specialty Polymers Local Community Service Fund has given a grant each year since 2012 in support of programs for K-12 youth designed to increase college attendance and participation in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

The generous grant from Specialty Polymers directly supports the Lego Robotics and Computer Science Program for 435 students at Garfield Elementary School in Corvallis, 3 AWSEM Clubs (Advocates for Women in Science, Engineering, and Math) serving 74 girls and granting 28 scholarships, and a special Discovering the Scientist Within Workshop for 130 girls from all over Oregon.

"AWSEM Clubs are designed to nurture girls' interest in STEM by providing a program of hands-on activities paired with positive adult women STEM role models. The goal of the clubs is to introduce girls to STEM career fields in which women are traditionally underrepresented. Thank you on behalf of all the youth that were served by your generosity!" ? Catherine Law, Director of STEM Academy at OSU 

In business since 1969, Specialty Polymers, Inc., is a proud member of the Woodburn community. The Southwell family has actively supported local organizations in the two cities where it has manufacturing facilities. In the mid-Willamette Valley, the Local Community Service Fund donates annually to the Woodburn Boys & Girls Club, the Molalla Adult Community Center, in addition to the STEM Academy at Oregon State University.
