Welcome to GROW, a dynamic initiative designed to cultivate a vibrant community of innovation and collaboration in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Our events aim to foster a growth mindset, encouraging participants to share ideas, embrace diversity, and support each other in the pursuit of excellence.

Event Structure

GROW consists of one online events and one in-person gathering each term, providing flexible opportunities for engagement. Whether you're a student, researcher, or alum, our events are designed to inspire and connect individuals at all stages of their careers.

Community Focus

Inclusivity and diversity are at the heart of GROW. We believe that everyone deserves a seat at the table, and we strive to create an environment where all voices are heard. Through interactive discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities, participants will explore innovative ideas and collaborate on solutions to real-world challenges.

Engagement Opportunities

Participants are encouraged to contribute to the conversation by suggesting topics of interest and sharing their insights. GROW also features a dedicated channel for alumnae and alumni to engage with current students and researchers, facilitating a rich exchange of knowledge and experiences.

Join us as we grow together, cultivating a thriving innovation community in STEM.

Be part of GROW and help shape the future of science and enterprise!
