Bayer to Host STEM Education Diversity Forum

Bayer Corporation will host a STEM Education Diversity Forum in December, the second such forum the company has held in the last three years. (STEM = science, technology, engineering and mathematics). The purpose of the forum is to encourage and help business executives from the various STEM industries – biotechnology, information technology, engineering and beyond – to get involved and support education programs in order to build a strong and diverse STEM pipeline, the feeder for our future workforce. Titled “Bridging the Diversity Gap: Introducing STEM Industries to Best Practice Programs,” the forum is an outgrowth of a recent survey commissioned by Bayer Corporation. The survey found wide agreement among the Fortune 1000 STEM CEOs polled that they and their companies have a responsibility to support pre-university, STEM-education programs that are developing the next generation of innovators, particularly those who have traditionally been underrepresented in STEM. The forum will showcase an array of best practice elementary and secondary education programs that are helping all students, partiularly girls and minority students, achieve in STEM subjects.
