Promote advocacy/awareness about sexism in the workplace through seminars and workshops aimed at University faculty, students, and staff.
Empower and enable women and gender minorities, and their allies, to combat sexism in daily life.
Promote gender equality in the workplace and at all levels of leadership.
Provide career development opportunities and peer/mentor support systems for female and gender minority scientists.
Facilitate professional and personal networking and community building support for future generations of scientists via community outreach projects such as science fair judging and high school career seminar visits.
Recognize that many peoples have been minoritized and historically excluded from STEM spaces. As such, we seek to uplift and support all individuals who are currently or historically excluded from STEM due to their sex, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, race, religion, national origin, age, disability, or body size.
Our group is sponsored by the Center for Immunology within the University of Minnesota Medical School and has funding from a Gender Equity Grant from The Women's Center.
