This Friday the Academic Centers for Excellence hosted a STEM fair from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at the fourth floor of the Schurz Library. An assortment of pizza, brownies, cookies, and drinks created a relaxed atmosphere that allowed faculty and tutors to easily talk to students about their classes, study strategies, majors, research, internships, graduate school preparation, and career options. STEM is an acronym for "Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics" which is well represented with the biology, biochemistry, chemistry, computer science, informatics, physics, and mathematics majors offered within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Three students won backpacks full of school supplies from a random drawing and both students and professors participated in an origami training session toward the end of the event. The fourth floor of the library usually isn't this "fun", but it is very resourceful throughout the week with tutors for many classes. In addition to tutoring, ACE offers other services to students.
