Guest Lecture Series

The purpose of the lecture series, which has proven to heighten the on-campus level of enthusiasm in science, is to afford students and faculty the opportunity to attend lectures regularly, interact with lecturers through insightful question and answer sessions, networking opportunities, expose Eastfield students, faculty, and staff to role models in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics careers, and to expose each of our guest lecturers from four-year universities and industries to Eastfield's unique Science Technology Expansion Program.
