Who Are We?

The EOP STEM Program was created through student advocacy to bridge the needs of first-generation and/or low-income Educational Opportunity Program students in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics fields. We provide comprehensive services to students who are intended or declared in a STEM major/minor OR simply interested in exploring a future career in STEM. Join our community to access monthly community & belonging events, one-on-one support through our Mentorship Program, leadership opportunities and professional & career development through company visits. We aspire to help the next generation of leaders to accomplish their goals and cultivate a new definition for students in STEM.
