SCHUMER STATEMENT ON FORT DRUM’S SELECTION TO HOST A STARBASE ACADEMY

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer released the following statement on Fort Drum’s selection to host a STARBASE Academy, a Department of Defense program that supports STEM academies on military bases so students from area schools can learn first-hand from military personnel:

Senator Schumer said, “With a STARBASE Academy on the way to Fort Drum, North Country students will have an opportunity to learn STEM skills – directly from first-class military personnel – that will make them more competitive in both school and the workplace. I was proud to work with Fort Drum and North Country school districts to deliver a STARBASE Academy at Fort Drum and will work in congress to ensure the program exists for future generations.”
