STEM PUSH Network

October 2023 Newsletter: Changing Systems -Bridging to Sustainability

With a focus of “Changing Systems–Bridging to Sustainability,” the STEM PUSH Network convened 46 Network partners from 11 states to share learnings, test ideas, and envision a path forward in our collective work of equitable systems change in higher education admissions to broaden participation of Black, Latina/e/o and Indigenous students in STEM.

At the convening, pre-college STEM program (PCSP) partners gathered to further our work on:

  • Accreditation for STEM PUSH pre-college STEM programs;
  • Equitable measurement;
  • Equity and justice centered curricula and programming;
  • Communications for sustainability; and of course,
  • The testing, sharing and reflections of learning.

This newsletter provides highlights of the convening.
