Building pathways in STEM through mentorship and experiential learning.
The McCutchen Research Scholars in STEM Program empowers students through mentorship, strength-based development, and hands-on learning experiences during the summer with Lafayette alumnae of color who are leaders in STEM
The McCutchen Research Scholars in STEM Program is a professional development initiative designed to empower and support students, especially women of color, as they build career pathways and grow as leaders in STEM. Spearheaded by the Hanson Center for Inclusive STEM Education, the program reflects our commitment to identifying and removing barriers that have historically limited participation 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).
