DEI Resources

Our Commitment to DEI 

In our commitment to working towards more diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM, we are providing DEI resources and models that you can directly apply to your association.

In order to move forward and truly make an impact, we understand that we must continually research, collaborate, study and listen to these important topics. We strive to regularly update this page with relevant resources as they develop.
