Massachusetts Maritime Academy was the host for the Governor’s STEM Advisory Council Meeting on Friday, September 18th. Prior to the start of the meeting, Admiral McDonald and his team demonstrated their new HUET. Training in this simulator will help to prepare the workforce for underwater helicopter rescues. Funding for the HUET was made possible by Mass CEC. Massachusetts Maritime Academy recently completed construction on their new science building, Marinakis Hall. Congratulations to MMA! Thank you for hosting such an informative meeting at such a beautiful location! Thank you to the STEM Advisory Council members, especially, Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, Dr. Stephen Zrike, Jr., Secretary of Education, and education commissioners, Dr, Jose Luis Santos, Department of Higher Education, and Amy Kershaw, Department of Early Education and Care.
