The students were provided a first-hand opportunity to learn about resources provided by the Department of the Navy and additional career opportunities within the federal government. STEM and Outreach Program Director Charlotte George shared her career journey and emphasized the importance of mentorship, encouraging students to embrace diverse paths to success.
