Located in building 9, room 9-143, the Natural Science Education Center (NSEC) is a dedicated academic resource space administered by CSTEP. It serves as a hub for science-focused study and support, and also houses the main offices of the CSTEP program.
The center hosts a variety of events for CSTEP students and guests, including weekly CSTEP Wednesday Forums, orientation sessions, the Summer Bridge program, and more. During these events, the center is closed to the general public, and a notice will be posted on the door.
Whether you're brushing up on biology, reviewing anatomy, or preparing for exams, NSEC offers a supportive learning environment with access to high-quality academic resources and peer-led support.
Students are welcome to explore a range of materials designed to support hands-on and visual learning, including:
