What Do We Aim to Achieve?
“By the end of four years with the Simons STEM Scholars program our students are equipped to serve the community of New York and beyond through communication, research and life skills that they develop in their time here. Our hope is that our scholars go on to achieve a PhD or MD/PhD in their given field and advance the research in ways which promotes community advancement through STEM related developments. We often tell our students it’s not just about learning how to build a bridge, or how to sequence proteins to develop new vaccines, it's about how these developments will affect the communities they are deployed into. Most importantly, it is knowing how to use these advancements to support the people that need them most”
