Strike a pose if you had fun at the STEM and Health Sciences Fair!

Earlier this week, we welcomed nearly 400 middle and junior high students for a fun day of learning and exploration at our annual STEM and Health Sciences Career Fair. The students got to participate in hands-on activities with our partners and learned about different careers from our professionals during a career panel.

Thank you to our Rush colleagues, community members and school partners for making this event a success!
