More than a dozen members of faculty from STEM fields were joined by faculty from the social and behavioral sciences and campus administrators for the first STEM Diversity Forum on March 28, 2013.  This monthly meeting is organized by the STEM Diversity Institute to identify best practices for increasing diversity in STEM fields at UMass.
