The goal of the Step it Up Program is to increase visibility of minorities and women in STEM. Currently in the US 12% of the graduates in STEM are women and minorities. Of the 12% graduate pool, only 2% get jobs in their respective STEM degree field.
The panel participants on the program included:
- Alexandria Kelley – past graduate of the Rochester STEM training Program
- Dan Weber is Vice President Technology for UST Global – mentored Alexandria
- BG Moore - Chief of Staff UST Global
