Since the passage of immigration reform in the Senate, inSPIRE STEM USA has turned our focus to the House. We have:

visited over 60 House offices about the need for reform and the importance of a STEM fund in any legislation the House might consider,
sent up four letters of support for reform and the inclusion of a STEM fund,
delivered packets of information to every House office,
recently held our first House staff briefing, and
added four new members to the coalition — American Association of University Women, American College Testing “ACT,” ExxonMobile and Sunshine Hope.

inSPIRE STEM USA Newsletter – March 2013

I-Squared will help ensure American companies are able to stay competitive in the global marketplace by modernizing the H-1B process. The bill also includes a dedicated STEM fund to help prepare America’s next generation of graduates for the high-skilled jobs of the future.
