Supporting undergrads
We seek to positively influence and impact undergraduate students worldwide by bridging the path to rewarding careers that will advance women in STEM higher education.
By developing relationships with universities and initiating interactions with students pursuing education in STEM2D fields, we are expanding our reach, programming, and impact on university students across the world. This is accomplished by organizing events and activities with partner universities such as college-to-career programs, panel discussions, guest speakers, innovation challenges, mentoring opportunities, site visits, and more.
