Each term, FOCUS has many different events, varying from community events to more academic events. Here is a small snapshot of a few of those events that happened this term.
Events & Celebrations
3rd Annual Research Gala! As the first and second-year students finish up there projects, they presented what they have worked on for the last few terms! It was very fun and informative!
Hosted Educators from Timor Leste! At the end of the term, Deborah and David hosted educators from Timor Leste who wanted to learn about FOCUS and how to engage with inclusivity and diversity in STEM. They were excited to explore our science buildings after our discussion even though things were in the process of being packed up.
Major Celebration! At the begin of the term, we celebrated our FOCUS students who had declared their major! We had lots of professors from different departments to engage with our students.
Ice-cream Social! As is tradition, FOCUS hosted a last day of classes ice-cream social for all FOCUS students and STEM faculty & staff! So many of y’all dropped by and it was a great way to wrap up the term.
