IBIO Outreach
About Us
Established in 2020, the Outreach Subcommittee is a trainee-led branch of the Yale Immunobiology Working Group on Diversity and Inclusion (IWGDI) committed to increasing the visibility of and accessibility to immunology.
We aim to:
- Build an inclusive, centralized community for STEM outreach and equitable teaching & mentoring practices in Yale IBIO.
- Establish initiatives that increase access to educational materials on basic immunology principles for students of all levels and the general public.
- Strengthen relationships between the members of our department and the greater New Haven community.
- Reach out to students from underrepresented communities interested in pursuing scientific career paths and support their retention in these fields.
