In the Tennessee Valley Region, we also think of a family and company that have always led the way in giving back to their community,\u201d said Scobee Rodgers.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after Ruth McKee\u2019s death, the family began to look for ways to bring lasting honor to her memory and her passion for education and teaching. The family\u2019s funding of the Mission Control classroom of the Challenger Center has allowed teachers and students to study together in a classroom that bears Ruth McKee\u2019s name. Since 1995 over 100,000 students and teachers have visited the Challenger Center and flown simulated missions to the moon and Mars and experienced a rendezvous with Comet Halley.<\/p>\n<p>Perry Storey, Director of the UTC Challenger STEM Learning Center indicated that this new donation will help with the advancement of the new Virtual Mission, \u201cTennessee River in Crisis,\u201d which is now in development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Ellsworth McKee was very excited to see how the Challenger Center is advancing our great programs with technology, ensuring that we are meeting the educational needs of our school partners and continue to challenge students with quality STEM programs. This gift will help to complete the technical equipment and teacher training needs for the new V-Mission program,\u201d said Storey.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Valerie Rutledge, Dean of the College of Health, Education and Professional Studies at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga noted that the McKee family and Corporation have been outstanding partners for many quality educational programs at the University.\u00a0 She says this gift is another indication of how important investing in education is for this family and the Corporation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir philanthropy over the years has impacted thousands of individuals in ways that are life changing,\u201d said Rutledge.<\/p>\n<p>The UTC Challenger STEM Learning Center is connected to a global network of 45 Centers located throughout the United State, Canada, Great Britain and South Korea. In addition to the Space Mission program, the UTC Challenger Center offers team building, strategic planning, and retreat programs that serve youth and adult groups including corporation and non-profit organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the UTC Challenger Center or schedule a program at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.utc.edu\/challenger-stem-learning-center\">http:\/\/www.utc.edu\/challenger-stem-learning-center<\/a> or by calling (423) 425-2191.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UTC Challenger STEM Learning Center recently received a gift of $10,000 from the McKee Foods Corporation in support of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) educational programs.
