opportunities to explore careers and graduate programs in the <b>biological sciences</b> to first generation, limited income, and underrepresented students (Black, Latinx, Indigenous, other students of color, and students with disabilities). Through intentional
programming and networking, we seek to create future leaders in science and build a sense of community for their academic, personal, and professional journeys. This event is completely
