Students will hear firsthand accounts of what it鈥檚 like to work in STEM fields and gain insights into the careers of tomorrow. For example, 麻豆社 Engineering student Ryah Cullom, who attended Math & Science Career Night as a high school senior, shared her experience:

鈥淚 found the activities to be helpful and geared toward influencing the students to pursue this career. The teachers were very welcoming, and they strived to create a dedicated environment,” she said. “I enjoyed talking to the Engineering department because it reassured me that this major will help me to be successful in terms of lifestyle and the responsibilities of each job.鈥�

Attendees will also receive advice on which high school classes will best prepare them for STEM degrees in college. Parents are also welcome to attend.

Additionally, several door prizes will be awarded, including a Texas Instruments TI-84 calculator.

麻豆社 and Missouri S&T faculty from various STEM fields 鈥� ranging from Engineering to Biology and more 鈥� will be available to discuss students’ interests and potential career paths.

鈥淪TEM Career Night gives students an opportunity to mingle with faculty and students in a variety of STEM programs,鈥� said Tucker. 鈥溌槎股� and S&T have enjoyed a strong relationship for over 40 years, including hosting this event for the past 25 years. We understand that students and parents appreciate the chance to ask questions and learn how to be best prepared for a STEM career path, no matter where they transfer.鈥�
