Southern Miss, INFINITY Science Center Create Unique Partnership | Schools

Children and visitors of the INFINITY Science Center in Hancock County will benefit greatly from a new agreement between the science center and The University of Southern Mississippi.

On Feb. 15, a memorandum of understanding was signed by Dr. Gordon Cannon, vice provost for research at Southern Miss, and George Schloegel, chairman of INFINITY, partnering both institutions to allow for greater educational opportunities.

“Taking the science, mathematics and technical side of what we are doing at Stennis, in combination with our partnership with Southern Miss, we are going to touch a lot of lives,” said Schloegel. “By focusing on the classroom, this partnership creates the perfect marriage. With Southern Miss as our university in south Mississippi and Stennis’ location in south Mississippi, we are joined at the hip geographically and now we are joined at the hip through science and technology.”
