A Science Celebration Night presenting information on a $4,500 scholarship program supporting industrial science careers will be held on May 14th at 6:00 p.m. in the Health, Nursing and Science Center at Umpqua Community College.
A college release said the free event and dinner will present the benefits of the pathway to students and parents while celebrating brand new scholars and current participants moving on to the university level.
