Week 21

We had an amazing week with our Neurodiversity Week celebrations! Our Neurodiversity club and their advisors did an amazing job with engaging students and staff about the importance of celebrating and honoring neurodiversity. Please see the photos below, as well as additional photos from our Computer Science pathway’s Mobile App Showcase!

In addition, Happy Black History Month! During this month, we celebrate the culture and contributions of Black Americans to the United States. We are excited for our upcoming Black History Month CD and the work of our Black Student Union to promote this important month!
