Dear Members of the STEM+ Community - 

Thank you!

In mid-November, we held STEM Together 2025, an impressive gathering of so many: students, educators, program leaders, community members, policy makers, scientists and engineers, campus leaders, humanists and artists, industry pioneers and national labs, and more.ÌýÌý 

Thanks to our inspirational speakers and presenters who challenged us in just the right ways. Thanks to our sponsors (especially, the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences and Department of Physics). Thanks to all who connected to this event to make it a success! 

Building on our keynote speakers, CCCS Chancellor DeSanctis and Attorney General Phil Wieser, along with the panelists addressing areas of Quantum, AI, Sustainability and Public Engagement, we will meet-the-moment and address the multifaceted challenges now facing STEM and higher education. We will contribute to meeting the technological, environmental and social challenges facing our communities and society through collective and coordinated actions.  We will act with transparency, humility and engagement with all. 

As we heard from Jane Goodall, “Together we can. Together we must. Together we will.â€

Join us!

We have an amazing infrastructure to meet this moment with multiple ways to make a difference.
