Community Board Podcast

We are the first chapter of the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science in Minnesota. We reside at the Mayo Clinic in the Rochester campus. Our society is dedicated to giving back through mentorship, peer networks, professional development, and by engaging the community in STEM fields. We organize campus, regional, and community activities to promote STEM and encourage minority students and scientists to reach their highest professional/academic potential. As a chapter, our goals are to "achieve mission impact through outcome-based programming and initiatives" as outlined by SACNAS values, mission, and goals, specifically targeting partnerships with both local Native American tribes and Hispanic communities in the MN area. Mission SACNAS is an inclusive organization dedicated to fostering the success of Chicano/Hispanic and Native American scientists, from college students to professionals, in attaining advanced degrees, careers, and positions of leadership in STEM.
