The Junior Science and Humanities Symposia (JSHS) program has historically been jointly sponsored by the U.S. Office of the Secretary of Defense and the U.S. Departments of Army, Navy, and Air Force, in cooperation with leading research universities throughout the nation.
As of October 1, 2025, the JSHS is suspended until further notice. Please direct all questions to armystemoutreach@gmail.com. Updates will be posted as they are available. We thank all the participants, volunteers, and staff for their years of dedication to creating a better world through STEM. We hope to see you all again soon.
At this time, the Center for Science Education is working diligently to determine whether we are able to support additional programming in the place of JSHS. Replacement programming will require support. If you are in a position to support the types of STEM learning opportunities we provide, you are welcome to donate to CSE here. For South Carolina specific questions, please contact Dr. Katherine Ryker (kryker@seoe.sc.edu).
