Last month, the Spring 2023 STEM Expo broke records again! All companies in attendance officially moved back to in-person recruiting. In total, STEM Careers, Internships & Co-ops hosted a record number of 130 employers, all face-to-face on February 23rd. While the event also hosted 130 employers last fall, Spring 2023 welcomed the largest number of face-to-face employers since the event’s inception. Employer attendees for Fall 2022 included 127 face-to-face employers and 3 virtual. Previously, the record for the largest number of employers at the event was Fall 2019 with 100 employers, all face-to-face!

In addition to employer attendees, a new record has been set for the number of employer sponsorships for the Spring 2023 STEM Expo. Howmet Aerospace, Path Master Inc and Steel Equipment Specialists LLC joined as Spring 2023 Sponsors. Butech Bliss, Ultium Cells and Hynes Industries were sponsors for both the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 STEM Expos. With a total of 6 sponsors, this new record narrowly edges out Fall 2019 with 5 sponsors total.

Students were also out in full force at this semester’s Expo! A total of 482 students and alumni attended the event. This is the largest number of students to ever attend a Spring STEM Expo. The previous attendance record for a Spring STEM Expo was Spring 2020 with 408 student and alumni attendees. 

Thank you to our employer sponsors and to all of the employers who attended in support of our students. We truly appreciate these relationships. Additionally, thank you to the staff and volunteers who helped make this event a success. Save the date for the Fall 2023 STEM Expo on September 28, 2023!
