Transforming Science through equity, representation, and empowerment

Our Why

Despite efforts to increase diversity, Black and Brown communities each comprise less than 15% of the STEM workforce. Many institutions struggle to recruit diverse candidates due to limited representation and the absence of educational pipelines that support students of color pursuing science careers.
