Our Mission
Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) is an inclusive organization dedicated to fostering the success of Latinx and Native Americans, from college students to professionals, in attaining advanced degrees, careers, and positions of leadership in STEM. As Brown University’s Chapter of SACNAS, we continuously work to foster an inclusive community and resilient network of scientists from underrepresented identities in STEM at Brown University and beyond. Our mission, as a chapter, is to promote and achieve true diversity in STEM through professional development, civic engagement, and community building.
Brown Chapter Goals
- Bring scientists to Brown University who share SACNAS’ ideals, interact with students, and provide opportunities to aspiring scientists.
- Increase the number of Brown University students who present their research at the annual national SACNAS conference.
- Reach out to our local community to increase awareness of careers in science and higher education.
