~ Future Partnerships ~

Our Nation’s security and economic prosperity depends on a highly educated

workforce with advanced skills in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

(STEM). One of this country’s greatest strengths has been its ability to creatively use

science and technology to provide solutions to the challenging problems of the day

and in the process create the businesses of tomorrow.

STEM education is critical to maintaining the United States’ standing as a global leader

in innovation and to our ability to meet future workforce demands. We need to

encourage and develop our next generation of innovators so the nation can compete

in the global economy and not get left behind. Connecting education K-12 and

businesses is paramount to our future.

As we look to the future, it is crucial to provide building blocks of what is needed

for strengthening manufacturing competitiveness, economic growth, and job

creation. Join the collaboration and engage in shaping solutions relevant to our

region and the nation.

April 1, 2016 Dear Colleagues and Friends, On behalf of the State University of New York, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 6th annual STEM Diversity Summit at Farmingdale State College. I could not be more thrilled with the theme of this y STEM/STEAM in Action through Hands-On Innovation -level work the last few years as I know you have l know that we have made groundbreaking commitments both to supporting and enhancing STEAM education throughout the education pipeline and to expanding experiential learning for SUNY students like never before. I am a true believer in the value of learning by doing of immersion in real-world work scenarios, of practice, of discipline. It is especially important today, when 45 percent of adult New Yorkers hold a college degree, but in the very near future 70 percent of jobs in our state will require such a credential and the accompanying skills, especially for the most promising STEM jobs. This is why SUNY is pulling out the stops to increase student ACCESS and COMPLETION, and why Farmingdale is hosting eventfor the future. Thank you for coming together to share your expertise and insights. I have every confidence that your discussions and discoveries will pave the way for meaningful steps in elevating STEM/STEAM learning in New York and years to come. With best regards, Nancy L. Zimpher Chancellor

April 1, 2016 Dear Summit Participants, It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 6th Annual Farmingdale State College STEM Diversity Summit. I am delighted to report that we are making considerable progress. We still have a ways to go in meeting the STEM workforce demand and, particularly, in helping underrepresented populations throughout New York State achieve in STEM. Research studies have shown that diverse teams are more successful than teams that are not diverse. The Farmingdale State College STEM Diversity Roundtable and Center is now an award-winning program, thanks to our many funding agencies, sponsors, supporters and partners. We are committed to, as the theme states, “STEM/STEAM in Action through Hands on Innovation.” I invite you to join in this effort. The urgency to act together is greater than ever. The STEM Diversity Summit, in alliance with the New York State STEP and C/STEP Programs, joining with K-12, businesses and industry, will continue to explore innovative ways to strengthen STEM teaching and learning in the 21st Century, in order to meet the pressing demands of the workforce. With this challenge and invitation, we hope that this Summit will be a stimulus in preparing leaders in STEM; garnering commitment to moving forward. On behalf of my colleagues at Farmingdale State College, STEM Diversity Roundtable and Center, thank you for your continued support and attendance. Have a great day at the Summit! Sincerely, Veronica Henry, Ed.D. Executive Assistant to the President Chief Diversity/Title IX Coordinator Farmingdale State College STEM Summit Chairperson !
