PARTNERING
WITH A PURPOSE

Nissan's support
reaches 30,000
students

Since its first pledge
in 1993, Nissan has
been a continuous
supporter of the SAE
Foundation and the A
World In Motion (AWIM)
program, delivering it to
classrooms and bringing
together teachers,
industry volunteers
(Nissan employees)
and students with a
strong emphasis on
participation throughout
Nissan communities.
By the end of 2017, this
partnership with Nissan and
SAE reached 30,000 students
in communities across Arizona,
Michigan, Texas, Mississippi, and
Tennessee. Students emerge
from AWIM having learned
foundational problem-solving
and analytical skills they need to
be successful throughout their
education and beyond.

"Reaching students at
the earliest possible age
is key to keeping young
learners engaged in STEM
subjects,"said Rebecca Vest,
Nissan Vice President of
Corporate Development and
Social Responsibility. "Nissan
is committed to supporting
education in communities
where our employees live and
work, and we are particularly
interested in investing in

STEM education,
which is vital in the
automotive industry."
A case study was recently
released highlighting the
value of AWIM and its
impact on K-8 students,
as well as Nissan's
involvement in the
program. That case study

39 teachers (K-2) in the Canton Public Schools system engaged in hands-on training
with SAE International's award-winning A World In Motion program at Goodloe
Elementary in Canton, Mississippi in November.
The training, along with ongoing teacher
support and classroom materials and
curriculum for over 1,000 students, was
made possible through continued support
by Nissan.
"Nissan supports many educational
programs in both Mississippi and across
the country to help our youth learn and
grow," said Steve Marsh, vice president,
Manufacturing, Nissan Canton Vehicle
Assembly Plant. "We are proud to work
with SAE International to bring their
award-winning training to Canton."
