The Fourth Paradigm (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Club)
U’nSTEMM has created a mission to provide equitable resources, representation, and social acclimation for marginalized, underrepresented, limited income, and first-generation 1st year students. We believe it is important for students of all backgrounds to have the knowledge and tools to attain their undergraduate and career goals. Many students who are in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, math, AND medicine) disciplines and hold these identities, do not see other students who share similar identities. U’nSTEMM is creating a space where marginalized, underrepresented, limited income, and first-generation STEMM students can come together!
