In 2014, the EOP STEM Program was created in order to bridge the needs of historically underrepresented students in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics fields. By providing one on one support (through the Mentorship Program), leadership opportunities and guidance (through our professional development workshops, community socials, and company visits), we aspire to help the next generation of leaders to accomplish their goals and cultivate a new definition for students in STEM.
