Virtual event celebrates the next generation of STEM in South Carolina

April 22, 2020 By ESN.net Leave a Comment

Just like college signing days for athletes, the next generation of STEM talent in South Carolina will sign a letter of intent to pursue a two- or four-year degree in the STEM field after high school on Thursday morning. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, this traditionally in-person ceremony will be held as a virtual event. The fourth annual SC STEM Signing Day will feature personal videos and photos from each of the 92 selected students signing their letter of intent as well as keynote remarks from SC Governor Henry McMaster, SC Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman, University of South Carolina head women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley, and Boeing and South Carolina Manufacturers Alliance executives. The event will start livestreaming here at 10:30 am EDT on Thursday, April 23.

“Being a part of SC STEM Signing Day is an incredible honor for these high school seniors. Although we’re currently facing unprecedented challenges, it does not diminish the tremendous accomplishments of our students. We are very proud to recognize the achievements and future steps of some of our state’s brightest minds.​” – Molly Spearman, State Superintendent of Education

Students from throughout the state applied to be a part of STEM Signing Day through Tallo, an online platform that connects talent with opportunities. The 92 students who will sign with major colleges and universities on Thursday were chosen based on their involvement in STEM education. A full list of the honorees, along with their current high school, future college, and intended program of study is available here.

This year, there are two student honorees from each county in South Carolina. 51% of the honorees are female, 49% are male, 52% are underrepresented racial minorities, 30% will attend two-year colleges, and 70% will attend four-year colleges.

Education, business, and community leaders from around the state will join Boeing, the South Carolina Manufacturers Alliance, South Carolina Future Makers, and Tallo in recognizing these students’ talents and drive for success.

“Boeing is honored to recognize 92 South Carolina high school seniors today as they commit to furthering their education in STEM,” said Jessica Jackson, Director of the Southeast Region, Boeing Global Engagement. “During these uncertain times, it’s even more important to highlight the work and dedication of these incredible students. Boeing is proud to support our innovators of tomorrow through events like South Carolina STEM Signing Day and our investments across K-12 education.”

“SC STEM Signing Day highlights the incredible talent across our state. These individuals have worked hard, accomplished great things inside and outside of the classroom, and are on a path towards endless opportunities. We’re proud to celebrate so many South Carolina students and their bright futures.​​” – Sara Hazzard, President and CEO, South Carolina Manufacturers Alliance

“The idea to celebrate STEM students in the same way we celebrate student athletes began as a small in-person event in South Carolina four years ago. We’re proud of how these STEM Signing Days have grown, and know this year’s virtual event will be our strongest one yet.” -Casey Welch, CEO and Co-founder of Tallo
