Things that perhaps many of us aren’t aware of. ?We thought it would be a good idea to have an open table forum where we invite various stakeholders across the University to share what STEM projects they are working on. The scope can range from summer camps, PR, marketing, K-12 events, student clubs, OL STEM initiatives, STEM Partners etc. It is purely an informational session. If you know someone involved in STEM that is not on the invite please forward them this (ex: Faculty leading STEM clubs). Thank you ................
