In order to help expand STEM into communities throughout the state, the Iowa Governor’s STEM Advisory Council is divided into six regions. Each region is appointed an institution of higher education to serve as a hub for the STEM Network and help expand STEM programs. Southwestern has served as regional hub for the Southwest Region since July 2012. The STEM offices are located at the college's Red Oak Center.
Seven hub institutions were recognized for their work in building local partnerships and collaborating with schools and businesses to deliver STEM opportunities to students:
• Northwest Region: Iowa Lakes Community College
• North Central Region: Iowa State University
• Northeast Region: University of Northern Iowa
• Southwest Region: Southwestern Community College
• South Central Region: Drake University
• Southeast Region: University of Iowa and Kirkwood Community College
