Student STEM Symposium Welcomes Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi and Student Researchers from Across L.A.

Science enthusiasts were invited to campus on Saturday, May 18, for the 2024 Archer Student STEM Symposium. The event featured the research and work of female high school scientists from schools across L.A. Attendees enjoyed two poster sessions, before viewing formal presentations in various breakout sessions. They then attended round table discussions that provided an opportunity for the STEM Symposium presenters to connect and discuss their research.
Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi gave an inspirational keynote address where she discussed her lifelong commitment to women's health and advocacy, as she delivered an empowering message to young women to pursue their passion in STEM.

Lastly, the Archer RISE Scholar Awards were presented to students, including Archer’s own Anna E. ’24, Alex M. ’24, and Finley V. ’26.
