A group of 24 students honed their leadership skills at an invitation-only conference for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) majors in San Diego last month.

The 11th annual MESA Student Leadership Conference is sponsored by industry donations. Edison International is the lead sponsor with additional funding from San Diego Gas and Electric, Southern California Gas Company, Pacific Gas and Electric and AT&T.

SDG&E sponsored the 色情视频 students and the company's employees volunteered their time to work with the students during the conference.

The conference 鈥 titled 鈥淭oday鈥檚 STEM Students, Tomorrow鈥檚 STEM Leaders鈥 鈥 offered extensive professional and leadership development through direct interaction with industry mentors and speakers.

The students 鈥 all science, engineering or math majors 鈥 represent more than 27 universities and community colleges from across the state.
