I am honored to address such a qualified and hard-working audience today, and I congratulate all of our members for gaining the honor of being in this Honors Society. I am overjoyed that all of our members will have a place to unite and share their passions for STEAM. 

Today, I want to talk about the STEAM National Honors Society’s “Patented Process to Progress” to describe the work of the STEAM National Honors Society. Many of you have already taken the first step to progress – applying and being accepted for membership.

Within the STEAMNHS executive board, we strive to make access to critical opportunities, such as the Presidential Service Award or TEDx, available to a broader spectrum of high school students.  

Additionally, we are dedicated to fostering meaningful connections between students, sponsors, and advisors to deepen understanding of STEAM fields through our advisor system: the chance to connect and collaborate with a dedicated STEAMNHS advisor for help with a project, idea, or anything else requiring assistance.  We will keep close records of all of our advisors’ specific passions and skills to ensure that each unique problem will be met with the appropriate advisor. I believe that this system will act as a catalyst for students to find their path to discovery – the start of the path to progress

We are expanding our network and reaching across the nation to start chapters at all types of schools, so be sure to spread the word about STEAM National Honors Society’s growing influence. 

By the end of my term, I hope to create an international platform where all of the members can come together to expand their passions for STEAM.  If you want to be a part of this growing movement, complete the chapter application form on the STEAMNHS website. 

Best regards, 

Austin Lund
