The Linda Godwin Center for Science and Mathematics Education was established in 1983 for the purpose of developing and administering programs and activities related to the enhancement of science, mathematics and technology education throughout the southeast Missouri region. The Godwin Center aids both teachers and students at the elementary, secondary and university levels as well as the general public.  Main responsibilities include:

• NASA Educators Resource Center (NASA-ERC)
• Master of Natural Science Program (MNS in Science Education)
• Enhancement and coordination of activities within the College of Science and Mathematics, the University and the region

Some examples of past activities are StarLab workshops, NASA teacher workshops, Operation Chemistry, Starship 2040 (NASA public exhibit), Science Olympiad, KSAM workshops and books, and the MAST Answer Line (Mathematics and Science Teachers Answer Line). 

The Linda Godwin Center is located on the third floor of Johnson Hall on the campus of Southeast Missouri State University.
