The GAINS (Growing Alliances in STEM) Mentoring Program seeks to provide community, academic support, and professional development for students of color in STEM.
GAINS is a community made up of first year and upperclassman students who are majoring in STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). This community focuses on students who are in these degree areas and students of color.
Components of this community will include mentor support, career workshops, guest speakers, and faculty and peer connections. Students work in small groups with a peer mentor who is a junior or a senior, as well as with a faculty member. Professionals in STEM fields are invited to share their experiences with participants and to become part of a network of mentors.
Join our community
This community will live in Bob Barker Suites.
