Science Learning Institute
Diversifying STEM
Mission and Vision
The Science Learning Institute (SLI) is committed to diversifying STEM fields, including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Research shows that women, people with disabilities, and people from historically marginalized communities are underrepresented in STEM courses, STEM majors, and STEM-related companies.
SLI aims to increase diversity and support retention and persistence in STEM disciplines and in the career pipeline.
