Central Piedmont has joined forces with the NC Science Festival organization to introduce FUTURES, a STEM outreach program aimed at encouraging underrepresented minorities to explore opportunities in STEM fields. FUTURES aims to inspire faculty, staff, students, and alumni to engage with their local community by sharing their personal journeys.
