Yale summer program gives high schoolers a look at careers in STEM

The Pathways Yale Summer Scholars Program introduces high school students to many diverging roads leading to careers in science, technology, engineering and math fields.  The free program, available to rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors in New Haven, West Haven and Orange schools, exposes students to working professionals in several science fields offering them advice for college and career readiness.  Almost two-thirds of the 89 students are girls, approximately 79 percent are nonwhite and 46 percent will be first-generation college students.
