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.
Our Activities:
Curriculum Reform
Advocacy, or Activism
Working in tandem with the DUSes, faculty, and students of various STEM majors (including MB&B, MCDB, HSHM, etc), we will gather information regarding how students feel about the environment of STEM/what changes can be made to better make marginalized students feel more supported within STEM @ Yale. We will compile a report to present to administration with out feedback and suggestions.
