SCCD is a group of faculty, staff,
and students that initiates and promotes programming to increase access for students
in the sciences, mathematics and engineering. We believe that effective programs
to increase underrepresented and first generation student participation in the sciences
will enable these populations to achieve excellence early in their time at Smith
and to generate a better learning environment for all students.
In addition to supporting AEMES, Early/Peer Mentoring
and activities with (US)2 (Union of Underrepresented Students in the Sciences), SCCD
aims to support new individual/departmental initiatives to promote diversity in the
sciences.
