Upcoming Opportunities
SACNAS Webinar: Navigating Uncomfortable Situations in STEM
In this webinar four former community college students shared uncomfortable situations they experienced on their path through STEM, including systemic discrimination, navigating higher education while being part of a historically excluded group, and other challenges. Following the panel, this webinar created a safe space for participants to ask questions and discuss their personal experiences. Panelists shared solutions on how to navigate uncomfortable situations moving forward. Recorded Monday, August 3, 2020.

Presenting your Research This Year
As a result of the Coronavirus, many conferences will continue to be held virtually. Attending virtual conferences eliminates the need to travel, and reduces many of the costs associated with conference attendance. Additionally, conferences are providing some registration fee waivers or scholarships to support students. Therefore, we highly encourage you to attend, or present at a conference this year. The following information provides quick access to conference information.
