Hosted by the Global Council for Science and the Environment (GCSE), this event served as an opportunity to expose our EnvironMentors high school student participants to a variety of career pathways, network with professionals in their career area of interest and enhance their professional development at a pivotal point in their career.
Guest Speakers shared their personal background and professional experiences with the students, including what made them interested in pursuing an environmental STEM field, how they got there and what advice they had for the students as they're exploring their career interests after high school.
This event was part of the 2024 EnvironMentors Science Fair and Awards Ceremony held annually in Washington, D.C. for high school students from chapters across the United States.
