Alliance for Diversity
in Science & Engineering:
STEM Undergraduates
Preparing for Excellence in Research
Our mission at ADSE is to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in academia, industry, and government. ADSE supports, organizes, and oversees local, graduate student-run organizations that reach out to students and scientists of all ages and backgrounds.
ADSE aims to form a supportive environment for Women, Latinos, African-Americans, Native Americans, LGBTQIA persons, and any other member of an underrepresented group in STEM.
We hope to develop a strong foundation for research-focused students intent on continuing their education in graduate school through shadowing graduate students at doctorate-granting institutions, graduate school panels featuring underrepresented students and STEM professionals, presentations by visiting speakers with a Q&A session, and conferences focused on undergraduate and graduate student research.
