December 2019 Ambassador Posts
Supporting STEM
As 2019 wraps up we're grateful for all the ways you've helped to support STEM and we're also thinking about the many ways others can help do the same, from volunteering as an Ambassador or a mentor to supporting their peers and colleagues in the sciences. With that in mind, we're focusing this month on boosting that community of support.
As a reminder, here are some hashtags you can include in your posts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or other preferred social media channels:
- #IAmNYAS - When sharing your own or other Academy Members' stories.
- #STEMHorizons - For posts focused on the future of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and how STEM can address society's challenges.
- #FutureofSTEM - For posts focused on young people in STEM.
