Enhancing Global Research and Education in STEM at Spelman College (G-STEM) seeks to prepare African-American women within the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) disciplines to be globally engaged upon graduation from Spelman College. The G-STEM office has been developed to work synergistically with different offices and departments on campus to establish formal international research collaborations, and develop a structured mentoring program for STEM majors (Biology, Chemistry, Computer Sciences, Mathematics, Physics, Dual-Degree Engineering or Environmental Science and Studies) seeking global research experiences. The G-STEM program's goals are to greatly increase the quality and quantity of international research opportunities available to our students, as well as enhance the mentoring process between STEM students and faculty.
Once formally admitted, G-STEM Scholars are:
It is expected that this level of continuous, focused mentoring by faculty will support students in integrating their research experiences abroad into their undergraduate careers, thereby helping them becoming highly competitive candidates for STEM careers and graduate study.
