Celebrating UC San Diego's 60th Birthday

In a year like no other, UC San Diego’s academic and healthcare communities continued to demonstrate the pioneering and innovative Triton spirit that has propelled this university and academic medical center faster and further than any other in the world.

The STEMtorship Network program is intended to create space where gender marginalized undergraduate students can connect and build community within the larger context of STEM as a male dominated field. We use the term “gender marginalized” to recognize the impact of sexism on many communities including, but not limited to, transgender women, cisgender women, transgender men, non-binary individuals, and gender non-conforming individuals. Students who complete all aspects of the program can receive CCR credit. The STEMtorship Network program has been reimagined to be more flexible! Students can register at any time, choose their level of engagement and attend programs that fit their schedules.
