Dear Summit Participants:

I am pleased to welcome you to Oklahoma’s fi rst STEM Summit. Our topic today could not be more important for the future of our state. Throughout the country, legislators, education experts and industry experts agree upon the importance of STEM (Science, Engineering Mathematics and Technology) education to the economic future of our nation. This is certainly the case in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Department of Commerce’s recent “Ecosys-tem” study demonstrated that the major wealth generators in our state (aerospace, energy, defense and security, among others) are all STEM-related industries. Support and growth of these industries is vital, and perhaps the most important aspect of this support, and growth, is the availability of a trained workforce. Statistics demon-strate, however, that we are not attracting a STEM-qualifi ed workforce in the quantities that are needed. We must ask: “Why not, and what can be done about it?”

Today’s Summit focuses upon the importance of STEM education in the development of a trained workforce for the critical industries in our state. However, the meeting is not about education per se. Vital though all subjects are - social sciences, humanities and arts - to a well-rounded, educated and contributing citizenry, today’s focus is upon the specifi c needs of our communities and state for STEM-qualifi ed graduates from our educational system (K-12, Career Tech and Higher Education). We will hear from leaders in industry and education about their criti-cal needs in this endeavor. We will discuss potential initiatives and ask questions about resources and next steps.Our intent today is to start a dialogue – a conversation that is essential and vital to our state’s future.

Thank you for being here and for your interest in our state’s future.
