Virtual Career Fair Round 2

"A STEM career can mean so many things, like studying fish and coral reefs near Puerto Rico, or exploring how environmental engineering can help improve human life while protecting the environment.


This virtual career fair will introduce you to different careers you could pursue if  you are interested in engineering, conservation, the environment, and more. Panelists will discuss what they love about their jobs, how they got to where they are today, and their best advice for students to find mentors along the way."
