Sarah Kate Hinkle selected for St. Jude Science Scholars of Tomorrow Symposium 2020

Congratulations Sarah Kate!

She applied and was accepted for the St. Jude Science Scholars Symposium. She will spend Wednesday, March 4 at the symposium on the St. Jude campus.

“St. Jude Science Scholars of Tomorrow aims to bring high school students interested in STEM to the St. Jude campus for a glimpse into the world of our scientists and clinicians. We want students to learn about some of the cutting-edge equipment we work with every day and hear about the collaborations that bring discoveries from the bench to the clinic.

But, we also want to go a step further. This program strives to inspire students to look beyond what they think they know about how science happens out in the world and to explore how their own interests can be applied in ways they never imagined to the pursuit of scientific progress. Our hope is that this new knowledge will inspire students to consider academic work and careers that will lead to the next generation of discoveries. 

Each fall, St. Jude seeks applicants interested in math, science, social sciences, STEM, engineering, robotics…and so much more, to join us for the annual winter symposium. This program offers local high school students (ages 16+) an immersive day of science and technology and challenges students to see how their interests could be applied to a scientific field they may not have considered. We want to inspire students to discover their role in accelerating scientific progress.”
