Welcome!

Under the direction of Dr. Jennifer Jakobi, the integrative STEM Team Advancing Networks of Diversity (iSTAND) creates a network to recruit, support and increase underrepresented persons in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and facilitates organizational change through the development of programs that build equity, diversity, and inclusion changes in STEM enterprises. Activities such as workshops and presentations, are designed to tackle unconscious bias, equitable hiring, retention initiatives, and teaching to underrepresented persons. iSTAND also connects individuals, industries and organizations to provide opportunity and support for underrepresented persons in STEM.
