Student Sponsorship

Our goal is to sponsor as many LGBTQ+ STEM students as possible to attend the conference. Sponsorship includes airfare, a shared hotel room and conference registration.
The Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering will support 10 NACOE students to attend.
The College of Letters and Science Dean's Office will provide $500 of support for a CLS student to attend if the home unit of the student provides the other $500.
Because this is a university sponsored trip, you have permission to miss classes on Thursday and Friday.
