Liability Agreements
Students are provided with insurance coverage by their respective campuses or school districts. College students are required to sign a liability release, which covers their respective schools and MESA programs. High school students under the age of 18 have their parent/guardian(s) sign permission slips authorizing their school to release students for participation in STEM Shadow Day. The registration form will cover teacher or staff chaperone inquiries. Industry hosts may require liability releases to be signed as well. It is preferred to have students sign industry host release forms prior to STEM Shadow Day, but understand that in some cases, must be signed at the industry host location during the morning check-in of STEM Shadow Day.
