Enhancing Global Research and Education in STEM at Spelman College (G-STEM) seeks to prepare African American women within the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) disciplines to be globally engaged upon graduation from Spelman College. The G-STEM office has been developed to work synergistically with different offices and departments on campus to establish formal international research collaborations, and develop a structured mentoring program for STEM students seeking global research experiences. The G-STEM program's goals are to greatly increase the quality and quantity of international research opportunities available to our students, as well as enhance the mentoring process between STEM students and faculty.
"Strengthening the Core: The Spelman College Strategic Plan for 2015, challenges that "We must expand our campus reach to embrace the wider world, modeling for our students the importance of thinking globally - understanding te world through more international connections' (Strengthening the Core, 3)-a challenge reflected in the major strategic goals to improve the student learning experience. Therefore, the Spelman College Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), Spelman Going Global, is designed to enhance student learning in study-travel experiences."
