Mission

The TRIO STEM-H Student Support Services Program is designed to provide valuable services to low income, first generation, and/or students with disabilities pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, math, and health fields. We collaborate with resources on campus as well to provide unique workshops to develop and support the specific skills needed by students in these challenging majors.

STEM-H strives to be a comfortable environment where a diverse group of students can take advantage of comprehensive resources. The program maintains equality and dedication to fostering the success of all participants with motivation, skill development, support, and mentorship throughout the time of their undergraduate career. This environment allows STEM-H participants to be successful in their academics, graduate, and excel in graduate school or a career.
