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.
