Alcami joins other pharma and biotech companies in a common goal to make STEM activities and education in math and science fun and exciting. "There is no other program like Students2Science. This is a unique program that truly makes learning science fun. We are engaging the next generation of chemical engineers and bench scientists, as well as our future executives in the pharmaceutical industry," stated Dr. Stephan Kutzer, CEO, President and Chairman of Alcami Corporation.

Over 20 volunteers from different sites across the United States participated in the first Pharma Day of the year, including Alcami's Chief Operating Officer, Ted Dolan, Chief Commercial Officer, Syed Husain, and Vice President of Quality & Regulatory Affairs, Brian Dillion. Volunteers and full time staff from S2S joined eleventh and twelfth graders from High Tech High School, in Middletown, NJ.
