Area High Schoolers on Campus Mon., May 16 for annual Student Bio Expo

On Mon., May 16, Shoreline Community College is hosting the 16th annual Northwest Association for Bio-medical research (NWBAR) Expo.

We are expecting 350-400 high school and middle school students from 23 regional schools to come to our campus.

Buses will start arriving with students outside the #1000 building at 7:45 a.m., and the students will be on campus until 2 p.m. The cafeteria will be open while the displays are up in the main dining room. Eating tables will be scattered throughout the building for this one day event.
