Minorities in Science and Technology Career Fair

March 9 - March 10 1992

Upholding "perfect attendance," the NMNH hosted an interactive booth at the second annual Minorities in Science and Technology (MIST) career fair held at George Washington University, Marvin Center.

More than 20 Smithsonian professional staff, and their repertoire of curious specimens, from Departments of Mineral Sciences, Entomology, Paleobiology, Invertebrate and Vertebrate Zoology plus representatives from the Discovery Room and SERC fielded questions and shared insights into natural history science with approximately 1,000 junior high and high school students from the DC metropolitan area.

Smithsonian's representation was organized and directed by Mary Sangrey as part of outreach initiatives of the Research Training Program.
