STEM R&D students, a collaboration program between
Oakland University and Birmingham Seaholm High School, received a rare
opportunity this October. Four STEM R&D students were invited to present at
the 2014 Suppliers Partnership for the Environment North American Conference by
David Tulauskas. Students were asked to provide their perspective on the
program and the success it has achieved.
Tulauskas, Director of Global Sustainability for GM, and
Louay Charma, Dean School of Engineering and CS for Oakland University, wanted
students to provide their perspective on how the STEM R&D program has
strengthened the talent pipeline between OU, Birmingham, and future employers.
Director of OU Inc. was also mentioned as a key role in the success of the
program.
The Suppliers Partnership for the Environment North American
Conference brings together industry leaders and leading experts from across
North America in the automotive industry, academia, and government to
collaboratively explore opportunities to accelerate innovation to drive
economic and environmental value. At the conference attendees had the
opportunity to engage with a cross section of industry leaders from across the
North American automotive supply chain in interactive working sessions. In
addition, attendees were able to collaboratively develop, explore and examine
potential strategies and solutions to shared business challenges and also gain
awareness of unique perspectives and approaches, and important gaps and
opportunities to be addressed related to sustainable innovation.
The collaborative effort which started on April 3 is the
first of its kind at the high school level and in collaboration with Oakland
University. The program is also designed to help colleges and employers
navigate the Michigan talent pipeline. As the STEM R&D program continues to
develop, the collaboration between Oakland University and Seaholm High School
will enhance and develop unique talent in the Michigan pipeline.
