During the Morgan State University event, Howard encouraged students to enter the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) fields.

Dr. Jeffrey Menzise, Associate Professor in the Institute for Urban Research (IUR), School of Graduate Studies at Morgan State University, played a key role in orchestrating the event. 

“The overall purpose is to encourage our youth to seriously consider the STEAM fields for their professional and academic pursuits,” said Dr. Menzise. “The main objective of this new center will be to build a pipeline for increasing the numbers of minority students interested in pursuing STEAM professions by way of exposure to fun and exciting STEAM related activities, professionals in the field, and to leverage the face and voice of celebrities like Terrence Howard.”
