Proud to support the call to make equity a national priority. ‘If we want our STEMM workforce to represent what America looks like, we need to essentially double representation of women, double Black, triple Hispanic and quadruple participation of Native Americans.’ At 3M we are excited to collaborate with STEMM Opportunity Alliance to drive scientific excellence and a more prosperous and just future #STEMMForAll. We have committed to invest in programs and continue to drive initiatives that increase awareness of STEM careers, improve academic outcomes in science and math, and provide scholarships, fellowships and support services for students pursuing STEM degrees. This includes expanding the reach of its Science Encouragement programs, investing in hands-on learning opportunities for students, and providing scholarships and summer preparation. Great summit today and icing on the (cup)cake to meet so many science advocates and those committed to DE&I in STEM fields. Honored to meet Arati Prabhakar Director White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and Sethuraman Panchanathan Director National Science Foundation (NSF). I never tire of reading about what Harvey Mudd College was able to accomplish and to hear the story from President Maria Klawe herself was inspiring. On that note - standing ovation for young Zach Oxendine for sharing his incredible story. Congratulations Alondra Nelson and your team for an excellent summit. Thank you Sudip Parikh AAAS and Sam Gill Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and your teams for the commitment to #STEMForAll John Banovetz Robert Brittain Jacqueline Berry
