Gaithersburg MS PTA

We had another great GMSxNovavax: Inspiring the Next Generation of Innovators session today!

A big thank you to John Kutney, Vice President of Manufacturing at Novavax, who spent time with our students sharing his education and career journey—from chemical engineering at Notre Dame to leading vaccine manufacturing efforts around the world.

Students didn’t just listen—they worked in teams to solve a real-world manufacturing challenge, thinking through problems just like professionals in the field. It was exciting to see their ideas, collaboration, and problem-solving in action!

This series is all about helping students explore different education and career pathways and see how their interests can connect to real opportunities.

We’re grateful to our Novavax partners for continuing to invest in our students! 💙
