Program Goal
To support university-based efforts that seek to advance systemic change in STEM graduate education
About
The University Centers for Exemplary Mentoring (UCEM) theory of change posits that through financial support, strong mentoring, supportive community, and institutional commitment, students in STEM can thrive and institutions can change graduate science and engineering education in ways that make it more welcoming, inclusive, and equitable for all.
UCEMs
The Foundation currently supports eight University Centers of Exemplary Mentoring at the following institutions. The Foundation is not seeking further UCEM partners at this time.
Day-to-day operations of the program are administered by the Foundation's longtime partner, the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME).
