“I am very proud of this group, for what they've accomplished so far this year – not only in the various VexU competitions they've attended, but also in their academic goals, their contributions to the community, and their livelihood on campus,” shared Associate Dean of CSM’s School of Professional and Technical Studies Dr. Stephanie McCaslin. “These are stellar students.”
