WHY SPONSOR?

GEM exists because we believe there is an untapped resource of scientists and engineers from under-represented groups, that will serve as a springboard for scientific ingenuity. Contributing to GEM Annual Conference will create greater awareness of this untapped scientific resource, as well as highlight the importance of having a diverse workforce.

For more than four decades GEM has connected highly qualified minority graduate students to a national network of more than 150 top-rated universities, government research facilities, and leading multinational corporations. GEM has done this by providing effective programs that increase the retention and graduation rate of GEM Fellows.

GEM recognizes the value of diversity in the ever-expanding scientific industry and wants to expand this vision. We welcome you to join us as we continue to create a legacy of excellence in scientific impact!
