The All Girls STEM Society at UVA

Club Description

The All Girls STEM Society was established originally in San Diego, California, with the sole intent of encouraging young women to pursue careers in STEM fields - areas where they were grossly underrepresented. The organization brought student volunteers from all backgrounds and walks of life to help further this goal. Upon arriving in Virginia, the All Girls STEM Society decided to expand its vision, deciding to focus on not only young women but also students of color and underprivileged students who are often not given the same opportunities to find their passion in scientific fields. The All Girls STEM Society’s goal is to help students find their own passion in STEM. We hope that all students involved in our events go on to the STEM fields; yet, if even a fraction are inspired, then we will meet our goal. It is with great pride the Society brings this mission to the University of Virginia, in hopes of continuing to contribute positively to the academic community.
