- In the second semester, Ag Mentors will engage with up to four Peer Mentees.
- Building community and learning from one another inspires growth and camaraderie.
Get Involved with United in STEMM
- The overarching goal of the program is to connect students of color in STEMM disciplines more intentionally with their colleges, industry partners, and with alumni and professionals of color, as well as eliminate graduation and persistence gaps for students of color.
