STEM Ambassador Recruitment for My STEM My Story Project
Two colleagues, Renee Lyons and Corliss Outley, and I recently received a nearly $2 million NSF grant for a project called My STEM My Story. We will be working with Tillery, NC, community members to develop a graphic novel titled “When Spiderwebs Unite” that tells Tillery’s story about their engagement with environmental justice. It will be the basis for an afterschool STEM club that empowers African American youth to identify challenges in their own communities, conduct scientific investigations, and create and implement action plans to address those issues. There is more information about the project here.
We are hiring eight (8) undergraduate students as UPIC interns who will work as STEM ambassadors and another as marketing/social media/website editor intern for the project during the 2023-2024 academic year. We are especially interested in talking with students of color about this opportunity and ask that you help connect us to students who would be interested in applying for these positions.
Attached is a flyer with more information about these jobs for students. Any questions, please reach out.
