Highlights from the First Annual ASE Alum Summer Mixer

Every year our Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering (ASE) Program turns out a cohort of new STEAM professionals. We first meet these students during the application process, we get attached to them at Orientation and Midsummer Conference, and we are wowed by them when they present at Symposium. Before we know it the summer is over, we’ve sent out our last intern communications, and we are starting the cycle over again with a new set of students. But what happens as they transition from ASE interns to ASE alums?
