STEM Immersion

What is STEM Immersion?

STEM Immersion is an immersive learning community for students interested in science, technology, engineering, math, or medicine disciplines. STEM Immersion offers events and informal gatherings throughout the academic year designed to support the transition to college and persistence in the field. Programming focuses on building community among peers, finding yourself in STEM, and sharing resources that support your academic journey.

Who is STEM Immersion for?

STEM Immersion welcomes and prepares first-year undergraduates and returning students for success at UW–Madison through cultivating a STEM-focused community and continual learning environment.

What will STEM Immersion do for me?

1. • Encourage excitement about the breadth of STEM majors and opportunities
   • Create an environment of intentional opportunities for students to interact with peers as well as faculty, staff members, graduate students, and the greater UW-Madison community
   • Introduce students to the learning and development opportunities that will occur throughout the collegiate experience
   • Create a welcoming environment for all students—especially first-generation students and those from underrepresented groups—as they make the transition to college
   • Encourage academic and social collaboration among diverse STEM colleagues
