Student Information Session/Forum

Attention students. Your Student Advisory Committee and the STEM Administration team would like to invite you to a Student Information Session and Forum on Friday, Dec. 17 from 1-2 p.m. via Zoom. We know that this is your first day of Winter Break, so we understand if you cannot attend. We will do our best to provide a recap of the meeting in the Student Newsletter. This date was chosen to accommodate student finals.

The Student Advisory Committee has been meeting with various STEM leadership groups throughout the last few months to learn the inner workings of STEM and providing student input as necessary. During our listening and learning tour, we discovered that there are a lot of things that we as students don’t know about STEM and about how decisions are made. Working with members of the STEM staff, we’ve come up with questions for the Administration Team to answer and inform us on. Dr Eucker and other members of the Administration Team will be part of this Zoom on Friday to help inform and answer questions. We hope you can join us.

Student Shout-Outs!
We want to celebrate our students and for our students to celebrate each other. Give a Shout-Out to a fellow classmate!

Luke Roszmann
Responsibility
He was super helpful during our Biology class blood typing lab. He gave everyone helpful tips on how to make it work better and even helped fellow students prick their fingers when they were too nervous to do it themselves.

Kellan Madden
Honesty
Kellan has always been honest

Kevin Bogan
Empathy
He is always caring about others. He makes sure everyone is emotionally ok. If they are not he will try to console them and fix the problem!

Check back next week for more Shout-Outs.
