Join the WSU SOM Graduate Student Senate for our May meeting! 6-8 PM, Margherio Conference Center. Dinner will be provided (first come, first serve).

Please join us for an informational session on the new WSU SOM group EmpowerSci Detroit!

EmpowerSci Detroit is a graduate student organization that aims to enhance STEM engagement in Detroit Public High Schools by providing hands-on learning experiences and an after-school program. Our mission is to facilitate interactive lab sessions and lectures that complement the science curriculum. In our after-school program, we strive to bridge the gap between in-school and out-of-school learning by providing students with the opportunity to build their scientific skills and knowledge with the support of scientific mentors.

Our goal is to provide graduate students with more teaching opportunities and to increase youth engagement in science. We achieve this by allowing students to participate in science in ways they may have never done previously. We strive for students to develop a better understanding of science and a greater appreciation for the types of questions science can answer. In doing so, students will be able to walk away from our program as better citizens, better voters, better caretakers, etc. by having a greater understanding of science and the impact it has on our lives.
