Thank you for your interest in GEM, a national leader in the matriculation of underrepresented minorities earning graduate degrees in STEM. Your annual support is critical to our mission and enables the organization to award more Fellowships and expand our mission.
According to data collected by the American Society for Engineering Education, in 2012, underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities earned only 12.6% of all bachelor’s degrees, 7.9% of all master’s degrees and 4.6% of all doctoral degrees in engineering across all 345 degree granting institutions. The diversity of engineering faculty ranks is significantly smaller, particularly as the rank increases.
Underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities constitute 8.6% of all assistant professors, 8.7% of associate professors, and 5.8% of full professors. Corporate citizens remained challenged in diversifying its talent pool as well.
If you are interested in working alongside the GEM Staff, GEM Alumni Association and other volunteers committed to diversity in STEM we would love to talk to you. Perhaps you may conduct a Diversity and Inclusion Symposium or host an alumni event – we would love to work with you.
There are a multitude of partnership opportunities with GEM from corporate sponsorships to finding internship opportunities at America’s top technology companies and national laboratories. If you share our passion and mission, we want to meet you.
