Boeing, Partnership for Learning and local education leaders recognized 32 students during Washington State STEM Signing Day on June 4 at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton.
Like college signing days for athletes, the event showcased the next generation of STEM leaders. Each honoree signed a letter indicating their intent to pursue STEM at a college, university or technical school.
The students will major in STEM subjects, including aerospace, engineering, astrophysics, cybersecurity, chemistry, and more. They plan to attend colleges and universities in Washington and beyond, including the University of Washington, Central Washington University, Everett Community College, Princeton, Caltech, and others.
Speakers included Washington State Representative Vandana Slatter; Pat Cazeau, Boeing Test & Evaluation senior director; Gina Breukelman, Boeing Global Engagement senior manager and Dareke Young, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver.
“Our most valuable super-power here in Washington State, just like at Boeing, is our people,” Cazeau said to the student honorees. “Let me say to the bright minds and problem-solvers sitting in the front of this room, we know you will do great things.”
Boeing has been a proud supporter of STEM Signing Day since 2017. Over the last seven years, more than 2,600 students have been recognized at STEM Signing Day events nationwide.
“We are thrilled to celebrate the hard work and potential of these ambitious future STEM leaders,” said Breukelman, “I am confident their journeys and careers will play a pivotal role in positively shaping our communities and our future.”
