You are invited to join leading educational professionals, researchers, and academic leaders at the 2008 Science and Technology Day on November 6th at Towson University! Experience the benefits of advice from distinguished panel members, research poster presentations, and networking in this friendly and professional atmosphere!
Registration is FREE! The meeting will be held in the Chesapeake Rooms on the third floor of the Student Union at Towson University.
This program is especially designed for students from High Schools and Community Colleges who have interests in attending four year Universities. A distinguished panel of experts will explore some of the exciting opportunities for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors and careers that are available, and why these careers are so important for the future of the Baltimore region and the country. Representatives from academic institutions, companies and the general public are invited to attend. Our goal is to promote cooperation between institutions, attract students into the science fields, and encourage current University students to build their network for potential internships and jobs.
Please join us for this opportunity to learn about the importance and impact of Science and Technology on critical areas like Biosciences, Education, Research, Engineering, and even space travel! Our special guests include leaders from all levels of our educational system who will share some of their personal experiences that have led them into STEM education. They will explain how the Baltimore region ? home to numerous commercial research and development activities, academic excellence, and a broad range of research labs ? plays a critical role in the education of our future science leaders.
