Over 300 graduate students came together to offer this year’s annual Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) conference, putting in countless hours of volunteer work to host middle and high school students from across the state for a day of hands-on learning experiences on April 5.

A group of 37 graduate students, two postdocs and a faculty advisor comprised the organizing committee, while nearly 200 graduate students volunteered to run workshops, 50 served as participants’ buddies, 20 gave tours of their labs and 10 ran booths running science demonstrations.

Altogether, this group supported a total of 320 seventh to 10th grade students from across New York state, coming from as far away as Queens to participate in this science, technology, engineering and math- (STEM) focused event.
