The event will bring together Upward Bound students from across West Virginia, including participants from Concord University, West Virginia State University and the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission’s Upward Bound Math and Science Program in Wheeling, as well as local Health Science and Technology Academy (HSTA) students.
Throughout the day, students will take part in interactive sessions hosted by the School of Physical Therapy, Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, Marshall Recruitment and programs including forensics and engineering.
The event aims to expose students to a variety of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) career paths and showcase the opportunities available to them at Marshall University and beyond.
“TRIO Upward Bound STEAM Day is a great chance for students to explore different careers and discover new careers that they may not have thought about,” said Eugene Lacy, director of the Upward Bound Program. “This event is a great opportunity for students from across the state to explore different career fields and experience what Marshall has to offer.”
STEAM Day activities will be held in the Robert C. Byrd Biotechnology Science Center and Harris Hall. Media are invited and encouraged to attend.
