Programming & Impact
On June 5th, we dedicated a special day at Tulsa Tech’s Peoria Campus to the true heartbeat of our mission. It was a time to pause, reflect, and celebrate the incredible volunteers whose passion and dedication power Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance.
This reflection isn’t just about crunching numbers on academic growth, though that’s certainly a part of it! It’s also about delving into the stories, the smiles, and the breakthroughs I see reflected in our student and mentor surveys. And let me tell you, it fills me with immense pride to announce that the 2024-2025 Math Mentors school year was phenomenal. It was another year of fantastic growth, deep engagement, and countless moments of connection!
