We appreciated the opportunity to meet with the DoW STEM office this week to strengthen our shared work supporting military-connected students
Through our Military Families Mission, NMSI partners with districts serving high populations of military families by providing educators with high-quality professional development and resources. This work helps teachers build strong STEM identities in their students.
The impact is clear: students in these districts are earning STEM degrees at more than 2X the national average.
Thank-you to DoW STEM for making this work possible!
