UB STEMinism

Created in conjunction with UB Counseling Services, UB STEMinism is a group open to participation by any student that aims to provide:

  • A support network for students who share similar goals, objectives, struggles, and successes
  • Psychoeducation, peer-support/student-led discussion groups
  • A place to facilitate healthier interactions and address some psychosocial stressors
  • A place to identify barriers to success, personal or academic, and develop strategies that move students forward
  • A place to obtain information for on-campus/community referrals related to mental health concerns that will not be addressed by/in group

STEMinism is scheduled on a bi-weekly basis throughout the semester and in addition to the psychoeducation and peer support, provides opportunities for participants to engage in social activities, professional development, mentoring workshops, seminars, and other activities that connect students.
