The Washington University Diversity Programs Consortium – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (WUDPC-STEM) Focus exists to strengthen the university’s pipeline efforts to recruit, retain and support individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in science and research related fields.

Our goal is to increase diversity in these fields. In addition, we aim to encourage diversity within the STEM professoriate at Washington University and elsewhere. We will do this by facilitating sustained collaborations between STEM departments and programs at Washington University that focus on building diversity and by enhancing awareness of those diversity efforts, resources and opportunities to the individuals and communities we serve.

WUDPC-STEM Focus goals

  • Recruit and retain a diverse community of faculty, staff and students
  • Identify feeder programs and partnership opportunities
  • Share data appropriate to the goals of the group
  • Share success stories and explain barriers
  • Understand the mission of each program to assist in achieving its goals
  • Provide a support network for diversity program coordinators and directors
  • Advertise upcoming events, projects and initiatives

Achieving our goals

We work toward the WUDPC-STEM Focus goals by facilitating sustained collaborations between STEM departments and programs at Washington University that focus on building diversity, as well as by enhancing awareness of those diversity efforts, resources and opportunities to the individuals and communities we serve.
