| David Rogers introduces speaker Stan Lockhart |
David Rogers introduced today's speaker Stan Lockhart. Stan came to talk about Utah's STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Initiative. He noted that 1,000s of jobs in Utah go unfilled because there are not qualified applicants to fill them. Those jobs are in the STEM areas. The STEM Initiative was launched to increase awareness of the need for more emphasis on science and math in our secondary schools. The goal is to try to attract more student to pursue these fields of study and graduate more students from college in these technical fields.
