UC Riverside currently provides a number of programs for women students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Through the College of Engineering; the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences; and the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, the University has majors, minors, and professional programs in a number of fields. In addition, the University supports a number of student clubs and groups like Women in Science and Engineering and others. The University’s goal is to engage an ever growing and engaging female STEM cohort of students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, to promote diversity, excellence, and success. This Lecture Series is one additional way to link our students with the rich resources offered by our STEM Faculty, Researchers and Administrators.
