Cal NERDS Diversity STEM Center

Our student center is a vibrant hub of activity for STEM undergraduate and graduate students to come together and build community and a sense of belonging. We provide access to advising, a place to study, basic needs resources, and STEM related workshops. We also focus on supporting our community’s STEM identity and STEM career path trajectories. Also, housed in our space are several diversity STEM programs that provide research opportunities, professional development, coding, and mentoring.
