Promotion of STEM Education For Minority Students Award

We have helped forward-thinking organizations open the doors to their next incarnation using technology, creativity, and ingenuity. We are passionate about equal opportunities and understand that there is still progress to be made in minority representation and opportunity in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In 2016, only 22% of degrees in STEM were earned by underrepresented minority students.
