STEM Speaker Series

The Chancellor’s STEM Speaker Series brings a variety of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) speakers to West Virginia’s capitol city of Charleston several times annually. The goal is to promote the importance of research while also providing access to renowned scientists who the general public may not otherwise have the opportunity to meet.
