“For decades, STEM fields have been some of the most homogenous. Women, minorities, and people with disabilities are particularly underrepresented, a problem that originates in their lack of access to, and enrollment in, STEM programs at universities.
We created BE STEM to reverse that trend by building a better pathway into these fields for URM students. We are thrilled to be part of this ground-breaking collaborative that so wonderfully reflects the University’s goal to serve an engine of opportunity for our students, our community, and the region.”
