Gov. Deval Patrick issued an executive order establishing a council intended to increase Massachusetts’ students interest and proficiency in the fields of science, technology engineering and math (STEM) — the Governor’s STEM Advisory Council. Patrick signed the order today at The MathWorks Inc. in Natick.
The council will comprise public and private sector officials and plans to advise on the creation of a statewide, five-year STEM plan. To that end, the council will work with the IT Collaborative, the Readiness Project, the Goddard Council and the 21st Century Skills Task Force, as well as private sector organizations.
Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray will serve as chairman of the council. Other members include education secretary Paul Reville, economic development secretary Greg Bialecki and secretary of labor and workforce development Suzanne Bump.
Patrick announced the formation of the council at a STEM Leaders Breakfast at the Museum of Science in June.
