Dear UW STEM students, researchers, and faculty,
In order to address the lack of representation of LGBTQ+/Queer folks in STEM, I’m trying to restart the UW chapter of oSTEM. Ideally, this will be a support and networking group for LGBTQ+/Queer-identifying graduate and undergraduate students in the sciences, but I want the mission and goals to be community-shaped and -driven.
If you have any interest in helping out and shaping this group, email me at montoni@uw.edu and come to our interest meeting on Wednesday, April 20th at 5:30 PM at the Q Center (HUB 315).

We are trying to recruit as many engineering students as possible to act as mentors to the high schoolers during this one day event.
As a thank you, all volunteers will be given first priority consideration for internships with WSDOT and other engineering companies involved in the SR 520 construction. All event detail such as event date and time are listed in the linked sign up form.
