This program seeks to increase Native opportunity and presence in all STEM areas.&nbsp;After inspecting some of the barriers inherent to the academic professional space that affect Native &amp; Indigenous students, we requested funding to develop a program that centers student experiences and identities. We have designed our program with an approach to mentorship that minimizes inadvertent harm and empowers students through building community.&nbsp;This was funded via a grant from the College of Arts and Sciences Dean's Innovation Fund.</p> <p><strong>Learn more about the mentorship program and the Program Planning Team <a href="/studentgroups/stemroutes/native-indigenous-mentorship-program" rel="nofollow">here.</a></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Wed, 15 May 2024 20:01:08 +0000 Anonymous 980 at /cnais
