Description
The Parents Involved in Excellence (PIE) Club of Charlotte is a vital component to the success of students involved in the UNC Charlotte NC-MSEN Pre-College Program. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte's North Carolina Mathematics and Science Education Network (NC-MSEN) Pre-College Program is housed in the Center for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education.
The goal of the NC-MSEN Pre-College Program is to broaden the pool of students pursuing mathematics, science, and engineering based majors and careers. The UNC Charlotte NC-MSEN Pre-College Program actively recruits and prepares students of average to above average ability in grades 6-12 from Mecklenburg and surrounding counties (Anson, Cabarrus, Gaston, Stanley, and Union).
The PIE Club meets periodically at UNC Charlotte. Attendance at these meetings affords parents opportunities to stay abreast of academic enrichment opportunities for their students and volunteer for events and student activities including community service events and field trips.
