Keynote Speakers
During the STEM Speaker Series, students and community members will have an opportunity to attend several keynote presentations. Faculty can select from a wide variety of topics to integrate a science or engineering theme with a current issue of importance to our university or local region.
The keynote speakers provide an excellent opportunity to connect science and engineering to real world issues of civic importance. Each of the speakers has an outstanding reputation in their field and has significant experience with the practical issues related to their field of study.
If you plan to include STEM Speaker Series into your Fall 2012 courses, please let us know by clicking the RSVP your class link. Links are also provided to biographies and informational sites for the keynote speakers. Contact us if you have any questions.
