Student Spotlight

"STEP influenced my desire to come to Lehman in the upcoming 2026 Spring Semester. The Children Arts and Science Workshop gave me a pathway to build up my skills and knowledge of STEM. I plan to major in chemistry."

-Omar Zakaria, STEP 2023-2025

"I enrolled in STEP earlier this year in January and participated in their EMT course. I graduated from Astor Collegiate Academy and will be attending Lehman College this fall and plan to major in nursing. The EMT course gave me insight into what it is like to work in the medical field. "
