Sharing the knowledge on’t waste the opportuni- ty you have now. You'll look back one day and be sorry that you didn’t give it all that you have.” These words come from Dr. K. P. leyoub, Dean of the College of Science. leyoub and the College of Science reflected this ‘‘give it your all’’ attitude during the 1987- 88 academic year, which was leyoub’s first as Dean. The College of Science of- fers various specialized courses leading to academic majors in seven depart- ments: Agriculture, Biologi- cal and Environmental Sci- ences, Chemistry, Computer Science and Statistics, Home Economics, Mathe- matics, and Physics. The seven departments, though separate entities, often cross departmental lines in the spirit of teamwork. Examples of this team- work are evident in the area of research. The College of Science is involved in sev- eral environmental studies within the Lake Charles community. The Depart- ments of Chemistry and Bi- ological and Environmental Sciences are associated with the Ground Water Institute, working specifically on the 64 College of Science ®) Chicot Aquifer. Research is just one area in which there is interaction between McNeese and the community. The College of Science offers several public programs, which award mu- tual benefits to McNeese and the area while promoting ac- ademic excellence. The Department of Home Economics offers the Child Care Center, located in Gayle Hall. Here students help to educate their young wards while supplementing their classroom education. According to leyoub, this practical application of skills is an important addition to classwork. “We have a lot of talent, a lot of expertise here at McNeese and | think it is, to some extent, being hidden too much,” leyoub said. ““We need to establish a rapport with the public and let them know what we can do and how we can help them. ‘‘For example, why couldn't we be noted for our environmental studies? Any- thing like that, we could be- come noted for. The current studies we are conducting are fine, but why stop there? We have the students, we have the know-how. We'll just give it our all, and hope it’s good enough.”
