For the first time, the Wooster/ATI campus hosted a Second-Year Transformational Experience Program (STEP) Expo, where students proudly presented posters detailing their STEP-funded experiences. The event provided an exciting platform for eight former ATI students to share their journeys, reflect on their growth and achievements.
Faculty, staff, and fellow students had the opportunity to engage with presenters, ask questions, and learn about the diverse experiences supported by STEP. From internships and research projects to study abroad and service-learning opportunities, the event highlighted the impact of STEP in helping students explore their academic and professional aspirations.
This transformative experience was made possible thanks to the generous support of the Lemmon Family, whose donation has allowed these students to pursue meaningful opportunities beyond the classroom.
Faculty mentors, Dr. Dan Linden and Dr. Eric Williams, emphasized the importance of such events in fostering a culture of experiential learning. "This expo not only celebrates our students' accomplishments but also inspires others to take advantage of the opportunities STEP provides," they said.
Attendees praised the event for its interactive and informative nature, making it clear that the STEP Expo is set to become a valuable tradition at Wooster/ATI.
