A huge thank you to ConocoPhillips for partnering with EMERGE to host a STEM Roundtable and Career Panel for our high school students. The panelists included Russell Williams, an environmental engineer at ConocoPhillips, Juan Vargas, a completions engineer at ConocoPhillips, Yeannet Ruiz, an EMERGE alumnus who is now a Geospatial Analyst for the City of Houston, Suratha Elango, a pediatrician at Texas Children’s, and Kyle Pierce, an engineer and Director of DEI at LyondellBasell. Students had wonderful questions for the panelists, and the panelists shared great insight into what a career in STEM entails.
Our country needs leaders who can bring fresh perspectives to bear on the world's toughest problems. Supporters like ConocoPhillips inspire our students to dream big and pursue opportunities that might previously have seemed out of reach.
