STEM & Health Equity Advocates at Yale

Our Mission:

In recognizing the adverse, harmful, and even fatal effects of racism in STEM and healthcare, our mission is to implement anti-racist education for STEM and pre-health students, expand the History of Science, Medicine, and Public Health department, and actively support and collaborate with other student-led efforts to dismantle systemic racism at Yale University.
