At Hearlihy and Pitsco, we focus a great deal of our attention on current students and teachers and aiding in their success, but we also are very interested in tomorrow's engineers, scientists, and mathematicians and how we can help them get there.
Professors at Michigan State University conducted research that looked at what influences students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine (STEMM). According to Jon Miller, MSU Hannah Professor of Integrative Studies, "the pathway to a STEMM career begins at home". The research also confirmed how mathematics plays a critical role in the course of a STEMM career.
