Spelman STEM Equity Hub
What is the STEM Equity Faculty Fellowship?
The Center of Excellence for Minority Women in STEM at Spelman is committed to advancing equity in STEM and being an exemplar for the nation as we equip, empower and elevate Black women in STEM to thrive and lead.
In an effort to understand the experiences and success of Black women within and across STEM disciplines, the center supports Spelman faculty as STEM Equity Faculty Fellows for an academic calendar year.
Generous benefits are provided to support these fellows in advancing STEM equity as they create and disseminate research about Black women in STEM.
