Director’s Note
19 November 2018Welcome to this year’s edition of the FOCUS Newsletter, inFOCUS!
As you know, FOCUS is a program that supports students who are interested in promoting diversity in science and math disciplines (also called “STEM” disciplines), both at Carleton and beyond. We strive to support students from groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM by ensuring that they are actively connecting with the tremendous array of resources available at Carleton, as well as opportunities off campus.
