STEM Learning Center Affiliates Program

Welcome! The STEM Learning Center Affiliate Program brings together faculty, staff and community partners to advance the mission of STEM education and equity at UArizona and beyond. We do this through mixers, symposia, workshops, and networking. We welcome UA personnel and community members to complete this application.

The review committee, consisting of the SLC directors and staff, reviews applications monthly. You will receive notice via email about your application status and membership in the Affiliate Program from Cara Shopa, program manager. Once included, you will receive email communications to participate in all sponsored activities. Affiliates are featured on the STEM Learning Center website to facilitate connecting with collaborators.

The Affiliate Program encourages graduate students to participate in programming such as mixers, workshops, trainings, and by signing up for the listserv.

Please direct questions to Cara at caraduncan@arizona.edu. Thank you.
