The Merle-Smith Campus was treated to a special in-person visit from author Wayétu Moore, whose memoir The Dragons, The Giant, The Women will be read by ninth graders as part of the FIRE curriculum in the spring semester.

Student-Led Advisory Mentors (SLAM) designed and sponsored a fun event for the Merle-Smith Campus community: a gingerbread house decorating contest. 

The Merle-Smith Campus took part in CSEdWeek, an annual call to action to inspire K-12 students to learn computer science, advocate for equity in computer science education, and celebrate the contributions of students, teachers, and partners to the field.
