Diversifying the STEM workforce is a longstanding goal of science educators and the National Science Foundation. Providing opportunities for students to participate in scientific research increases their chances of remaining on a STEM career path, especially for students from minority groups underrepresented in STEM. However, many students do not find research opportunities on their own, pointing to the importance of bringing research to all students through curricular reform.

Congratulations to the MCB Department for being awarded the University's Department Award for Excellence! This annual award recognizes departmental excellence in the management of people and resources.
