This is a community of well-driven scientists, where you are given the opportunity to grow as an individual, professional, and scientist. We have a selected variety of workshops geared towards professional development, graduate school, community outreach, and personal advancement. With opportunities to do outreach to the community and give back to others, while emphasizing growth in the STEM field. We provide a safe space to discuss daily issues we face as undergraduate/graduate professionals in our fields and ways to properly address them.
