Latinos en Comunidad  Latinidad STEM Mentoring Program

Latinidad STEM Mentoring Program

We strive to be a resource for the Latinx undergraduates in this STEM Mentoring Program at NMSU. This program is designed to foster collaboration, support, guidance, and mutual growth for aspiring STEM leaders. We provide a platform for mentorship, research engagement, and professional development, all while building a strong community of like-minded individuals.

This program is made possible through funding from the National Science Foundation's HSI-Improving Undergraduate STEM Education Program.
