Science communication, youth STEM education, and community science are essential components of the CUNY ASRC’s mission to nurture interdisciplinary research and education across CUNY and beyond. The CUNY ASRC IlluminationSpace Hub (IS Hub) was created in response to this understanding. It aims to foster deep, ongoing collaboration between CUNY STEM and New York City communities, making science more responsive to local needs and providing pathways to STEM education and careers for underrepresented and under-resourced groups.
