STEM-PLEDGE (Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics Providing Leadership & Enhancing Diversity in
Graduate Education) is a student led group of master's and
doctoral students sponsored by the University of California,
Los Angeles chapter of the Alliance for Graduate Education
to the Professoriate (AGEP). UCLA AGEP is sponsored by
a generous grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The primary goal of STEM-PLEDGE is to identify and
address the barriers that prevent the full participation of
groups underrepresented in science, technology, engineering
and mathematics graduate programs at the University of
California, Los Angeles. This group is open to any
student who shares a common concern about equal access to
education and in the broadening of opportunities for
academic leadership and participation. In order to
accomplish this goal we have designed an executive
infrastructure aimed at accomplishing four major areas of
interest:
1) Peer Mentorship
2) Career Development
3) Informal Networking and Support
4) Recruitment
This is an open, fluid, fun, volunteer student group that
is committed to diversity & excellence in higher education.
