WASHINGTON, DC (September 14, 2011) – In just over a week, 50 students from around the United States will travel to Washington, DC to participate in a conference hosted by the non‐profit organization, Out in Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics (oSTEM). The event is oSTEM’s first national meeting, and it promises to be altogether unique – with the primary goal of advancing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and allied students in the STEM fields.
