Behind every successful STEM program is a team of mentors, leaders, and role models dedicated to making a difference. ✨
Training day brought together our internship college leads and mentors as we prepare for another summer of learning, leadership, and opportunity.
Their guidance, support, and commitment help create the experiences that inspire students to explore STEM, build confidence, and imagine what's possible for their future.
We're excited for the impact this team will make in the months ahead. 🚀

The numbers don't lie — representation in STEM is growing 📈
Underrepresented minorities now make up 24% of the U.S. STEM workforce, up from 18% in 2011 (NSF/NCSES, 2024). But the gap is real: Black women are just 2% of the science & engineering workforce, and women of color hold only 3% of lab leadership roles.
The opportunity? STEM careers are projected to grow 6% by 2034 — nearly twice the rate of other fields. Data science alone is projected to grow 34% (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics).
Researchers like Dr. Tonya Webb (University of Maryland School of Medicine) and PhD candidate Alena McQuarter are proof of what's possible. Our students are next. 💜
