An informational meeting for “The Face of STEM”
will be held on Thursday the
25th at 9:00 AM, in room 205. The Face of STEM is a club that reaches
out to future applicants of our school. We will help the future applicants to
see STEM from the perspective of current students. In order to accomplish this, we will help with
shadows, inform schools and future students about STEM, and enable applicants
to see how STEM is different and why we are so unique. We hope to see you
there!
