Why STEM Weekend Matters:
Unlike a traditional career fair, STEM Weekend gives companies multi-touch, relationship-driven access to Hampton’s top STEM talent. Over two days, sponsors engage with students through interactive sessions, problem-solving challenges, and mentorship-focused events—creating stronger connections and more effective recruiting outcomes. STEM Weekend showcases the strength of Hampton’s STEM community and creates a direct bridge between industry partners and the next generation of diverse STEM leaders.
