Savoring Science Fund Raising Dinner and Reception

The evening’s program will highlight the strategic approach of Foothill College to recruiting, retaining and inspiring students to major in STEM-related fields.

Silicon Valley’s economy depends on a workforce that is proficient in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Yet there is a major disconnect between the Valley’s workforce needs and the experience that many students have with STEM subjects in school. Silicon Valley employers are rightfully concerned that students are not electing to major in STEM-related fields in sufficient numbers to build and replenish our future workforce.
