Each semester, the STEM Conference provides a venue for student researchers to showcase their interests and research projects on topics such as hurricane impact on coral reefs, development of soil microbial communities of soil, art and science, and protein modeling. The event draws hundreds of presenters and is a platform for students to connect the technical skills of STEM research with the soft skills essential to today’s workplace. We invite you to join us this semester to (1) network, (2) gain self-confidence, and (3) become an active participant in the scientific process.
