The groundwork has been laid. After two years of exploration and collaboration, U.S. News STEM Solutions has succeeded in drawing much-needed attention to the STEM crisis in the United States. Changes are occurring. Industry involvement is strong and momentum is building. But the discussion is just beginning. For the STEM initiative to succeed over time, it’s essential that we keep the critical issue in the national spotlight. This year, when the conference takes place in Washington, D.C., your involvement as a STEM advocate is crucial. Our collective work is far from finished, and we need your continued voice in the conversation. Plan now to join us in the nation’s capital for “STEM Solutions 2014: Where Employers and Educators Meet”. Participants will have the opportunity to learn how to initiate the action necessary to improve STEM education and increase employment in STEM fields. Tracks include: Focus on Advanced Manufacturing; Changing the Face of STEM; STEM Change-Makers; and Expert Roundtables.
