Biotech program gets big boost - Erin Stewart, Deseret Morning News
Utah high school students may soon know how to produce pesticides from living cells before they even know how to drive. A $2 million grant to Salt Lake Community College is opening the doors to the biomanufacturing field to high school students with a hands-on lab program at the Granite Technical Institute. The grant, given to 42 community colleges nationwide, will allow SLCC to get students in the field early and get them through a four-year degree. "We can begin getting students in the pipeline when they are in high school and getting them excited about math, science and technology," said Cynthia Bioteau, president of SLCC.
