They may not see people who look like them as their professors. They may look around their classroom, see 80% men and I\u2019m one of three women, and say, \u2018What\u2019s going on here?\u2019 So hosting an event like this is important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Feb. 16, Philipp and UTC hosted nearly 330 middle and high school students from Coretta Scott King Young Women\u2019s Leadership Academy (CSKYWLA) in Atlanta. According to the school\u2019s website, the academy aims to help its students perceive themselves as successful in college and the workforce by exposing them to life outside their community.<\/p>\n<p>The field trip theme was \u201cFull STEAM Ahead,\u201d with all the students and faculty making the two-hour trek from downtown Atlanta. STEAM is a design process for learning that incorporates science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry and dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>The day\u2019s activities included visits with UTC science, math, engineering and music faculty and trips to various locations around campus\u2014such as the Challenger STEM Learning Center. CSKYWLA students also had the opportunity to participate in specially designed campus tours and student-led panels about college life at UTC.<\/p>\n<p>While CSKYWLA has had full school field trips to museums, this was the first time the academy brought all its students to a higher education institution. For many of the middle schoolers, this was their first time on a college campus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they called me and said they were thinking of UTC as an option, I really didn\u2019t know if that was possible. They wanted to meet real college professors and real college students, so I first went to admissions to see if this was possible,\u201d Philipp said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-attachment-id=\"56992\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2024\/02\/full-steam-ahead-field-trip-brings-atlanta-academy-to-utc\/216a8149\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/02\/216A8149-e1708285431931.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,1222\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS R&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1708083053&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"216A8149\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/02\/216A8149-e1708285431931-1024x978.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-56992 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/02\/216A8149-e1708285431931-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/02\/216A8149-e1708285431931-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/02\/216A8149-e1708285431931-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/02\/216A8149-e1708285431931-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/02\/216A8149-e1708285431931-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>After getting the go-ahead from Associate Director of Engagement Brandalyn Shropshire and Associate Director of Recruitment Terrence Banks that Undergraduate Admissions could support a group that large, Philipp collaborated with numerous partners across campus in constructing the day\u2019s calendar, asking \u201cfaculty colleagues and their students from around campus to offer a one-hour hands-on experience for these students who want to experience what it is like to be a Moc for a day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Philipp reached out to department heads Gretchen Potts (Biology, Geology and Environmental Science) and Keenan Dungey (Chemistry and Physics) because \u201cas department chairs, I knew that they would know people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She raved about the responses she received.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it speaks volumes to the collaboration that we have at this University when somebody says, \u2018Hey, I have some high school and middle school students coming to campus. Would you have an hour activity to present to them?\u2019 And they say, \u2018Absolutely. We\u2019ll do it,\u2019\u201d Philipp said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of them also asked their students to help, but that\u2019s even better because the high school and middle school students got to see what a college student is like\u2014which is way better. They\u2019re a much more credible proxy for what goes on at a university because they\u2019re much closer in age.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Learn More<\/h4>\n<p><a
