"Massachusetts' theme for STEM Week reminds us that ‘STEM starts now’ at all stages of learning,” said Dean of the School of Health and Natural Sciences Jannette McMenamy. “By celebrating STEM Week on our campus, we are hoping to inspire all students to see themselves as future problem-solvers and leaders in STEM fields."
Students are encouraged to participate in these STEM Week activities.
