LAREDO, Texas – Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX-28) and Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) will host the 2017 STEM Alliance for middle and high school students in Laredo and Zapata on February 20, 23 & 24 at TAMIU. The event is designed to encourage local students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields; as Hispanics and women are currently underrepresented in those areas.
The STEM Alliance also includes a career fair on the first floor of the TAMIU Student Center; keynote speakers, including NASA Astronaut and Engineer Donald Roy Pettit; and presentations from companies, universities and government agencies.
