Fall Conferences & Recruitment

Conference picture set

Fall brought brilliant colors to the CU Boulder campus, and with it, we began a significant journey. Our goal was focused and profound: to ensure minoritized STEM students are aware of opportunities available for graduate studies at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ·. Our search took us to both small-scale community events and prominent stages.

Our first stop was at the , a gathering place that represents the confluence of ideas and ambitions. Both here and at the and the , our booth became a source of inspiration and knowledge. These conferences, which encourage underrepresented scholars in STEM subjects,helps to eliminate attendance barriers and welcomes a diverse variety of participants by offering scholarships and low-cost admission. Among these enthusiastic faces were intelligent students eager to learn more about the graduate programs at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ·.

In Colorado, we weaved a story of inclusivity and belonging, a topic important to the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ· culture, by connecting with groups like and CU Denver through keynote speeches and personal interactions.

Promoting the SMART program was a critical component of our purpose. The distribution of informational flyers and personal interactions resulted in a considerable rise in interest, culminating in a December 6th information event. The pleasure was hearing our SMART program alumni discuss their research experiences at these conferences, exemplifying our initiative's transformative influence.

Collaboration efforts were critical to our achievement. We worked closely with the Department of Integrative Physiology, Admissions, Engineering, and the CU Medical Campus to ensure that interested students' inquiries received thorough responses.

Every activity we took part in, every conversation we had, and every partnership we formed highlighted our dedication to promoting diversity and accomplishment in STEM. We are actively constructing the brighter STEM future we envision for ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú´«Ã½ÎÄ»¯×÷Æ·, one student, one conference, and one collaborative effort at a time.
