The IS Hub’s mission is to foster deep and ongoing collaboration between CUNY STEM and NYC Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPoC) communities, making science more accessible and responsive to local needs and providing individuals from underrepresented and underserved groups pathways to STEM education and careers. We do this through partnership building within the ASRC, across CUNY, and with local public schools, community groups, neighborhoods, and a dedicated community advisory group.
This first biennial report provides a glimpse into the IS Hub’s four programs, which are designed to open STEM pathways and create a diverse scientific community that is connected across disciplines, beyond the lab and into local neighborhoods.
