Students in STEM receive academic support, discover employment opportunities on campus, participate in summer internships studying at four-year schools, enroll in accelerated math classes combining two semesters of math into one, and participate in the Summer Academy, learning from talented speakers about their work experiences in STEM careers.
STEM Open House is our annual event to showcase STEM programs and clubs! This is a great opportunity for students to make connections in STEM and take advantage of the services offered through STEM! Check out our calendar for any STEM-related events like our STEM Open House!
The Math Preparation Workshop gives students an intense review of the mathematical concepts to give them a solid foundation of mathematical knowledge that is needed to keep up with the pace and rigor of accelerated math. Students that take the math preparation workshop have a much higher chance of success.
Dr. Cleber Ouverney from San Jose State University came to Gavilan campus to give students information about the internship program and research opportunities in Biomedical research and how to apply for this great opportunity
