GRADUATION - CLASS OF 2021
In an effort to remain responsive to continuing changes in our parameters for public gatherings, we have made some adjustments to our graduation planning to account for the most recent guidance from state officials. As we move to the “Bridge to Phase 5” by the end of the week, we are increasing our limits on capacity for Graduation.

Now that regulations allow for more attendees at graduation, we will be increasing the number of tickets allowed to each graduate to a maximum of four. Tickets will be distributed at the mandatory graduation practice on May 19th - you must participate in the graduation practice session on 5/19 to receive your tickets.

Women and NonBinary People in STEM Club
On Thursday, May 13th, Women and NonBinary People in STEM Club put on their first event. They hosted a virtual coding workshop for local middle school students to attend. Middle school students learned some python basics as well as how to code a game of rock-paper-scissors to be played against a computer opponent.

It was a great turnout for their first workshop/event, and they hope to host many more in person opportunities in the future!
