As we celebrate October as #ManufacturingMonth, we’re introducing you to Don Gregg, a person who loves introducing his own passions to the community. Don is the Senior Director of Engineering for our Roper subsidiary in LaFayette, Ga. It’s there that he started the Roper STEM Outreach program.
The program partners with local students of all ages and gets them excited about the subjects Don enjoys most: Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, or #STEM. Through the program, students get an inside look at our plant and participate in hands-on STEM activities with the Roper team.
“Hosting STEM visits is one of the favorite parts of my job, and I'm grateful that GEA and Roper are such great supporters of the local community,” he said. “They recognize that advancing STEM education requires collaboration among industry and educators. Our future success depends on a pipeline of highly trained, highly capable employees.”
More than 1,700 students, from 15 schools within four surrounding counties, have participated in the Roper STEM Outreach program to date. And we thank Don for helping introduce #manufacturing careers to our future workforce!
