The purpose of the Black & Latinx in STEM is to promote the academic and career growth of Black and Latinx STEM students at Emory. The 3 pillars of this organization are unity, scholarship, and development. Our goal is to provide these students with opportunities, resources, mentorship, and community so they feel supported and have the tools necessary for success. We expose our members to the various opportunities for growth on and off of Emory's campus. Additionally, we bring to light the importance of diversity in STEM fields and celebrate past and current achievements of scientists of color.
The funds raised will be used to continue to drive our purpose. We will use the funds to host events that provide professional development resources to create meaningful learning experiences.
