Mentorship Program Application

 

Thank you for your interest in being a mentee in the mentorship program! 

STEMinist Empowered was born from Dr. Grayson's own experiences in academia and industry as a Black woman in STEM. Not seeing representation in the spaces she entered, she was motivated to create a space to empower, support and encourage women of color who are pursuing graduate degrees. Her goal is to increase the pipeline of women of color, especially black women graduating with advanced degrees by providing mentorship, community and resources. 

The goal of the program is to engage, empower, and retain WOC who are pursuing Graduate degrees by providing:

  • Career Planning and Professional Development

  • Tools and training to navigate as a WOC in a graduate setting

  • Exposure to experts in advocacy, branding, networking and entrepreneurship

  • Connection to women from a variety of institutions for communing and peer support

The program will be composed of monthly cohort meetings during the following time: 

Time: 7:30 PM EST to 9:00 PM EST; Date: TBD

Monthly 1:1 mentorship meetings will be determined based on your schedule.
