West Hempstead Secondary School hosted its annual STEM Major Alumni Day on Nov. 26, in which current secondary school students engaged with alumni of the district who have pursued or are currently pursuing careers in STEM.

The alumni gathered with students at the secondary school’s videoconference room and spoke about their majors, job opportunities and courses that helped prepare them for college. The discussion was followed by a question-and-answer session that gave West Hempstead’s students further opportunity to interact with the alumni.

The West Hempstead School District thanks the panelists for sharing their experiences in STEM with secondary school students.
