inSTEM Summit

July 27-29
Watergate Hotel
Washington, DC

JOIN US AS WE CELEBRATE OUR INCREDIBLE INSTEM COMMUNITY

We have an opportunity this summer to bring together, in person, all of our inSTEM community members, the 90 Scholars from Howard University and the University of Texas at Arlington and mentors that have donated their time and energy to support the development of undergraduate STEM majors.

This summit is a time to celebrate, connect, and expand personal networks. By the end, we hope that our attendees look back on this experience fondly, and we lay the foundation for future successful inSTEM Summits. We are grateful for the support from the whole inSTEM community, the impact that we have seen the program have on the community, and the bright futures that are ahead for our students.

The inSTEM Summit is invite only and is an opportunity for inSTEM Scholars, mentors, and special guests to participate.
