For Students
We are sorry to announce that the 2013 School To World event originally set for February 23, 2013 has been CANCELLED! The Albuquerque Convention Center is undergoing construction and will not be available in February. We could not find an alternative venue for 1800 students. Therefore, the event will not be held this year. Sandia National Laboratories has been a proud supporter of this event for 12 years and we regret we are not able offer New Mexico’s largest career exploration event in February. We thank you for your understanding and continued support of this event over the past 12 years. Questions: Amy Tapia, Sandia National Laboratories, 284-5207, astapia@sandia.gov.
