Science advances best when all minds contribute and all voices are heard.
Our program adopts four mechanisms to aid in the mission to build community in STEM.
- Team-based research. As a Data Science master’s graduate student you will work closely with other trainees, senior mentors, and faculty, in small teams that provide guidance, support, and inspiration across diverse perspectives. Team-based research provides a stronger and wider base of knowledge and support than traditional grad-in-a-lab training.
- Community Building. Through hands-on research, internships, seminars, happy-hours, and mini-conferences, you will find many opportunities to connect with others who share your experience and background. We believe these social support networks make it easier for pioneers like you to navigate the challenges of STEM graduate education.
- Promoting Projects with a Social Impact. We are committed to finding at least one project per year that aims to improve outcomes in education and health, for example. Students will choose from several projects in industry, government and/or non-profit agencies, and at least one of these projects will include a mission with a social impact.
One thing we as researchers can do to build a research community, is acknowledge work from different perspective by including multiple contributions in our citations.
