STEM Enrichment Opportunities
Advancements in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (the STEM disciplines) are essential to understanding the processes of our natural world and applying this understanding to problems facing society.
From ACE to UCLEADS we are proud to offer a veritable alphabet soup of programs where dedicated faculty and staff introduce students to the excitement of science and engineering and support them in their studies and preparation for careers. Making opportunities in the STEM disciplines available to students from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds is an important goal of our programs.
We invite you to enhance your educational experience by participating in these exciting and rewarding programs.

from STEM participants
“ACE has given me a home here on campus and connected me to many new people and opportunities. I've met many of my friends through these sections, as well as gained a better understanding of the course material than I would have in regular sections. Everyone is so supportive and really wants you to do your very best. Because of that support from the students and staff, I got into the MARC program and now work doing undergraduate research in MCD Biology Professor Zahler's Lab working with miRNAs. If it weren't for ACE, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- Marissa Perez, Junior, Biology, ACE co-leader student staff
“MentorNet is a great resource for those who have found and those who are searching for careers that match their interests. When searching for a mentor I indicated that I would prefer a mentor that was in industry, because I have not otherwise had a chance to meet and interact with someone with similar interests as my own outside of academia. I am eager to find a mentor that can provide me with yet another resource to help me choose a career path that will be fulfilling in the future”
- Nina Nowshiravani Arnberg, Ph.D. Student in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology
“I really enjoy Bioinformatics, and I am excited about the future of the field. I also really enjoy math and am hoping to find a way to integrate the two. In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, dancing, reading, and having fun.”
- Crissan Harris, Surf-It participant
