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.

On April 4, Central Piedmont’s STEM students gathered to discuss their passion for STEM and the motivating factors driving their academic pursuits. Mrs. Marcella Yonkosky from the NC Science Festival Organization led training workshops to enhance engagement and participation.
