2024 SACNAS National Diversity in STEM Conference

The Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) is the leading scientific professional society dedicated to fostering the success of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in attaining advanced degrees, careers, and positions of leadership in STEM.

SACNAS hosts annual conferences to gather its membership to provide a convening that immerses them in cutting-edge STEM research, professional development sessions, and provides exposure to career opportunities, including those sponsored by federal science agencies, in addition to providing multicultural celebratory events honoring the traditions of the cultures of their members.

The Office of Science seeks to be a partner member in the 2024 SACNAS National Diversity in STEM Conference (NDiSTEM), occurring in Phoenix, Arizona on October 31 – November 2, 2024, and engage SACNAS members through other opportunities offered by SACNAS, such as the Community College Day and advertisement of SC-sponsored training and research opportunities via the SACNAS social media platforms and digital publications.

SACNAS seeks to introduce and expose their membership to a broader range of STEM research and training opportunities, particularly opportunities in the physical sciences and at DOE National Laboratories and SC’s scientific user facilities.
