Support from AT&T will help re-launch the Governor’s School for the Sciences this summer, giving talented high-school students from across Pennsylvania an opportunity to engage in hands-on learning and research during the intensive, five-week program at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
AT&T provided a $40,000 contribution to PGSS, Inc., a non-profit organization led by alumni from the Pennsylvania Governor’s School for the Sciences (PGSS) who have worked to reinstate the program for future students and create a professional network for its alumni.
The work of PGSS, Inc. is aligned with AT&T’s ongoing efforts to help prepare students for careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) – key disciplines that are critical to the continued competitiveness of the Commonwealth and to AT&T, according to J. Michael Schweder, president, AT&T Mid Atlantic.
Pennsylvania Secretary of Education Ron Tomalis said AT&T’s support is important to creating a pathway of opportunity for students interested in STEM careers.
Tomalis added that applications are being accepted through February 15, and he encouraged students to learn more at www.pgss.mcs.cmu.edu.
