The Community Outreach Program Office was established to identify and, in coordination with other campus resources, fill existing gaps in outreach and recruitment of underrepresented communities into Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine and Math (STEMM) careers in higher education. The initiatives of this office are focused on strengthening the congruency between the University’s values of belonging and inclusivity and the campus culture to ensure the success of minority students on the Health Sciences campus. Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to utilize this office as a resource for needs relating to STEMM education, community outreach and engagement.
For assistance with STEMM education project proposals, grants, research, and campus initiatives, please contact Maria Mendez Garcia at (405) 271-3223.
