STEM Ambassadors

STEM Ambassadors are faculty members, post-docs, and graduate students in STEM departments at colleges and universities who wish to carry out public engagement in nontraditional settings (e.g., outside schools, museums, science centers). They participate in a series of workshops, either in-person or online, to identify a focal group to engage and build skills to design and implement an effective engagement activity.

The STEM Ambassador Program began in 2016 as a training program for a small cohort of University of Utah scientists. Since then, we have grown to work with over 250 graduate students, post-docs, faculty, staff, and undergraduate students. Scroll down to learn about the scientists who have participated. Contact us if you would like to reach out to a STEM Ambassador.

Note that many Ambassador bios were uploaded when the Ambassador joined the program and may not be current.
