National research conference for STEM fields
Seattle, Washington
October 11-14, 2012
SACNAS is a national organization that encourages Chicano, Latino and Native American students to pursue graduate education and obtain the advanced degrees necessary for science research, leadership and teaching. The organization brings together undergrads, grads, post-docs, researchers and faculty from different backgrounds whose shared love of science, technology and the desire to see more minorities as colleagues come together to ensure achievement. Each year, the SACNAS national conference brings its members together to present their research and to facilitate interactions between individuals from all levels of academics. This year, the national conference will be held in Seattle, Washington from October 11-14, 2012 and we are encouraging attendance of IU students and faculty.

Here are IU, the SACNAS student run chapter strives to support diversity by encouraging minorities in the sciences and acting as a support group through mentoring relationships among its members. To achieve these aims, we pursue two main goals: (1) prepare students for the national conference, so both IU and the student can be featured at the national level; and (2) outreaching and leveraging with other IU groups and associations to provide synergy and community within the campus.
