SACNAS at UMass Amherst Website Coming Soon …

Welcome! 

The mission of SACNAS is to promote the success of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

SACNAS is an inclusive organization dedicated to facilitating the pursuit of academic degrees, careers, and positions of leadership in STEM, from college students to professionals. Further, SACNAS provides a community of like-minded people who are interested in both science and culture, as well as a safe community to connect career backgrounds, cultural backgrounds, and to grow as a scientist.

Additionally, though we see a need to support students of STEM backgrounds, we aim to expand the focus of our chapter to include non-STEM degrees and to be open to all groups in an effort to establish a community and a sense of belonging across various disciplines. As a SACNAS chapter, we will be part of the innovative, powerful, and inclusive growing network that SACNAS is building by bringing the SACNAS community to underrepresented students both within and outside of STEM here at UMass Amherst.
