Authentic Science Research Student Jackie Anderson Named Gov STEM Scholar 2021-2022
The Governor STEM Scholars is a prestigious research program that provides high-achieving New Jersey STEM students in grades 10 through doctoral level with an introduction to the state's vast STEM economy to retain that talent in the state. The Governor's STEM Scholars was established by the Research & Development Council of NJ and strengthened by support from some of the state's top researchers and STEM professionals. Jackie was one of the 80 students in the state accepted into the program. The program selects student leaders who are interested in STEM so that they can be introduced to everything New Jersey has to offer in STEM across all sectors – academia, industry, and government. Through a series of four conferences during the school year, as well as trips to STEM organizations across the state, the Governor’s STEM Scholars provides students with opportunities to closely interact with New Jersey STEM professionals, research organizations, and state policymakers to educate themselves about and experience the state’s STEM economy. The program offers scholars mentoring opportunities and enables them to make personal and professional connections that can last throughout their academic and professional careers. The heart of the Governor’s STEM Scholars is to mentor, educate, and inspire it’s scholars which Jackie feels they have accomplished.
