PEER

Program for Educating Emerging Researchers

overview

diversify the STEM workforce

The vision of the Program for Educating Emerging Researchers (PEER) is to diversify the STEM workforce by developing emerging researchers from groups that experience marginalization in STEM. To achieve this vision, we seek 1) to educate undergraduate, post baccalaureate, graduate, and postdoctoral fellows who are enrolled in STEM and education fields at minority-serving institutions, in the science of broadening participation research; 2) To engage PEER fellows in hands-on experiences with center-funded research projects under the guidance of faculty/staff within the center.

"Being a mentor in the PEER program is a profoundly impactful role that involves guiding and inspiring students to explore the realms of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with curiosity and confidence. This program has presented me with the opportunity to ignite a passion for discovery in younger minds and to encourage them through challenges that foster a sense of empowerment and resilience. My mentee has also shared insights with me that have led to self-discover and improvement on my end. Ultimately, being a STEM mentor means nurturing the next generation of thinkers and creators who will shape the future of scientific exploration and technological advancement, and this is what the PEER program allows for...empowering others to achieve their full potential, and contributing to a community of lifelong learners and achievers!."
