Nineteen area middle- and high-school students recently participated in ������̳’s Go STEM Institute, which was virtual this year.

This February, more than 40 ������̳ students had the opportunity to connect with well-established alumni in their chosen fields of study despite being in the midst of a pandemic, thanks to the Alumni Association’s virtual adaptation of annual networking programs.
