Parents Leadership Circle

“Through our participation in the PLC, we have had numerous opportunities to connect with the Institute’s outstanding faculty and administration, and in the process, gain a deeper understanding of its mission, immediate priorities, and longer-term goals. We are proud to support our daughter and son’s school as it develops the next generation of leaders in science and engineering and endeavors to solve the world’s most challenging problems.”
