START Office
Weekly
April 4, 2023
Edition 155
|
|
The START Office was founded by the BUILD PODER program for students who are unable to participate in the BUILD PODER program and would have the opportunity to gain the knowledge and experiences that prepare them for the biomedical workforce.
The purpose of the STEM Transfer and Research Training (START) project is to build a transfer receptive culture, promote research opportunities, and offer information regarding graduate programs in the basic, behavioral and clinical sciences to all transfer students entering CSUN. The START project envisions a community for interdisciplinary collaborations between faculty and students, including students from underrepresented groups, such as African American, Latina/ox, women, individuals with disabilities, and undocumented students, who will contribute to a diverse and prepared workforce in the STEM field.
Even though our resources are tailored to STEM transfer students, the START office and Badge Project is open to all CSUN students.
