HMDV-260 STEM Seminar III

The topics covered in Seminar III focus on “Where Do We Go from Here?” Students take the STRONG survey which indicates what type of career they might enjoy. There are workshops in resume writing and internships, and students explore and prepare a presentation for the group about a career that interests them. Students prepare for mock interviews for an internship or docent position and will apply for an internship for the following summer. Field trips and activities beyond the classroom are also planned. Enrollment is limited to those with STEM majors.
