SEM Link 2008-09 Programs Closing Events

The 2008-09 program year is coming to a close and we are in the stage of planning our final two events. This year has been another year of defining who we are as a organization, building new relationships and most importantly exposing more youth to our programs. The final two events for the year are a Science Cafe on HIV co-sponsored by the CDC on Wednesday, April 8 from 6-7 pm at the Southwest Regional Library of the Atlanta Fulton Library System. This is an interactive discussion lead by Dr. Keri Norris of the CDC to discuss a disease affects so many communities in our nation and the world.

The final event for our program year is our 2nd Annual Science, Engineering and Mathematics Career Fair and Exhibition on Saturday, May 2 from 1-4 pm at Georgia State University. This event is free and open to the public and is set up similar to a job fair where we expose K-12 students to careers in these disciplines.

It is very exciting to close another successful program year and we are looking forward to the 2009-10 Program Year

Science, Engineering and Mathematics Link, Inc. (SEM Link), a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, was founded in 2004 on the premise that exposure to members of the science, engineering and mathematics (SEM) communities is critical to student development in math and science. Our mission is to promote student achievement and career exploration in math and science while increasing student exposure to the science, engineering and mathematics communities and enhancing resources that are available at local schools and community organizations. Our two core programs, Math and Science Career Academy and Experimental Design Program, provide students with an opportunity to develop their math and science skills by enhancing the classroom learning experience and teaching them skills that are transferable to other areas of life. We recruit students and professionals for our programs that have backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
