The Scientista Foundation Presidents' Circle Program

About
The Presidents' Circle is the Scientista Foundation's newest initiative aimed at connecting and empowering the leaders of student women in science organizations. Members of the Presidents' Circle are able to connect with one another through the Scientista Foundation with the mission of finding solutions to the toughest problems that aspiring women in STEM face. Scientista provides PC members with a platform to connect with regional and national networks and communities, as well as resources for themselves and their organizations. The PC members will work together to increase the numbers of intercollegiate events and collaborations, allowing for a larger, stronger community for women in STEM. Leaders who partake in the PC program also gain lifetime access to our growing network of professionals and student leaders in STEM. 

2011-2012
We are pleased to present our newest members of 2012! Click on each members' name for a Q/A with each of the inspirational student scientistas in STEM. For current PC members, click here for a list of resources.
