Busch Campus Center, Rm 120AB (604 Bartholomew Rd, Piscataway, NJ 08854)

This interactive, two-hour session will begin with students anonymously sharing in writing the challenges that they have experienced as women of color in STEM. These challenges will be grouped thematically during the keynote presentation by self-identified Latina STEMinist, Patricia Valoy, a nationally recognized as a STEM diversity consultant. Following her address, she will engage in a dialogue with audience members, where both she and the participants will collectively generate solutions to the challenges presented. At the end of the session, a short evaluation will be administered to determine if the intended outcomes have been achieved and to provide guidance for future programming. All undergraduate students, graduate students, and post-doctoral research associates in STEM, who identify as either women of color or allies, are welcome.

Registration information will follow shortly.
