Student Success

Spring Break Field Trip

NSM College Career Specialist, Chanda Ishisaka took a group of 26 students for a company site visit to HBT Labs, which included Project RAISE students and other NSM students. HBT Labs is a small pharmaceutical company in Brea that creates injectable drugs, such as a drug to treat schizophrenia. They made it a fun and interactive tour. Students got to meet with the company president, try opening and using a syringe, visit the Chemistry lab, Microbiology lab, and get gowned up to go into the clean lab where they manufacture the product.
