In light of the recent decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs. Wade, join us for a panel discussion event to explore the implications of this decision on the STEM community.

Presented by the STEM Trifecta, a collaborative comprising the Women in Science and Engineering Residence Program (WISE RP), the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Program, and the College of Engineering’s Office of Culture, Community and Equity (OCCE). The STEM Trifecta was established to elevate the overlapping goals and outcomes of each respective unit, while creating new initiatives and outreach to support minoritized communities pursuing science, engineering, technology and mathematics at the University of Michigan and beyond.

In particular, we want to create a safe space for students to learn about the science, policy, and real-world impact of this decision–at the personal level as college undergraduate and graduate students–but also as emerging STEM professionals. We hope to create space for understanding, and empower individual and collective action to discover how one can use their spheres of influence to effect change. Finally, we are hoping to positively promote the benefits of voting, and you will be able to register to vote during the event.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: U-M Alum, Ford Adjunct Faculty, MD/MPH
