Science in Action
During each semester, the Science in Action Seminar Series is held every Tuesday from 4:30 p.m.-5:30 pm in the STEM Center, Building 7, Room 7-307.
This weekly series is presented in partnership with the San Francisco State University Bridges to Baccalaureate Program, the Skyline College Science and Math Division, and the Math, Engineering, Science Achievement Program (MESA).
The seminar series is free and open to the public. The topics vary and are geared not only towards science, but the entire college experience, so we encourage non-science students to attend. Attendance confirmation slips will be provided. We look forward to seeing you there!
