The McCutchen Research Scholars in STEM Program provides on-campus and off-campus mentoring and experiential learning opportunities with Lafayette alumnae of color who are leaders in the STEM fields. This is a summer program open to women and nonbinary students of color in STEM.
The McCutchen Research Scholars in STEM Program is a professional development initiative to empower and support women and non-binary Lafayette students of color to strengthen their career pathways and leadership in the STEM fields. We seek to better attract, retain, and advance women and nonbinary students of color in STEM. This program is being spearheaded by Hanson Center for Inclusive STEM Education, which strives to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the full participation of historically-marginalized groups (e.g. based on race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality) so that there is equality of opportunity for all in STEM.
McCutchen Research Scholars in STEM will be expected to work for 8 to 10 weeks during the summer. Students will be paid ($10/hour) for 36.25 hours/week, with the mentor determining the particular day-to-day distribution of the hours. Students will receive funding for housing as well as transportation to and from the locale (at the beginning and end of the experience).
Information about the Summer 2025 program coming soon!
