Bristol-Myers Squibb Volunteer Toolkit
Classroom Connect allows Bristol-Myers Squibb employees to engage with local schools in their communities. The students you will be visiting have participated in EVERFI’s Endeavor: STEM Career Exploration digital course where they’ve been introduced to different careers within the STEM field including Clinical Research Coordinator, Project Manager, and Forensic Scientist (to name a few). As a volunteer, you’ll help add another valuable layer of understanding to the expansive careers available in STEM by leading students through activities tied to your daily work.
Tips & Tricks
These are some tips and tricks on how to connect with the teacher and create an engaging environment for students!
