Become a University Member

As a part of our movement to empower women in STEM at the university level, we are introducing a new opportunity for universities to take an active part in recruiting and retaining more women in STEM fields. Scientista is inviting university departments with a commitment to changing the STEM ratio to take part in our inaugural University Membership Program. Becoming a University Member is a way for your department to demonstrate your commitment to increasing diversity in STEM, make an impact on your campus, and engage on a national level as a thought leader and agents of change.
