STEM Careers
STEM Career programming empowers students to explore diverse STEM pathways through hands-on experiences, mentorship, and industry connections that prepare them for future success.
STEM Professional Development with Industry Perspectives
Through workshops, guest industry speakers, site visits, and 1-1 mentoring, this one-credit course (01:556:240) cultivates career readiness, confidence building, and self-advocacy for students looking for a career in STEM. These industry-based offerings include:
Pharmaceutical - Bristol Myers Squibb. Fall semester
Insurance - Everest Global Insurance. Fall semester
As a pharmacy student, this class single-handedly helped me network with pharma industry professionals more than my program ever did. I especially enjoyed having the women’s perspective on the enterprise, which provided valuable insights into navigating a male-dominated field with confidence and resilience. The 1-on-1 mentorship was so personalized, offering guidance that addressed my specific career goals and challenges. It gave me the opportunity to receive direct feedback and advice from experienced women other than my mentor, who genuinely cared about my growth. Through the connections I made and the knowledge I gained, I left the class feeling more prepared and empowered to enter the industry.”
