A NOTE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

It’s amazing what we can do when we come together.

Through the work with underrepresented minorities, it was evaluated that there was an extensive need in offering experience to supplement classroom instruction.  STEM UP which stands for Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics with an Urban Perspective was developed to meet the needs and allow students to experience STEM and nurture the desire to pursue career paths and workforce opportunities in those areas.  These opportunities can change the life of many underprivileged youth.  Join us in making the difference and changing lives through STEM.

Thanks for the support that’s made it all possible!

Dr. Lakeisha Hamilton
