The Next Generation Science Scholars (NGSS) program – Graduate Division is open to all STEM PhD students and post-baccalaureates at WashU. Its mission is to provide a supportive community through networking events, scientific outreach and engagement with surrounding communities, and near-peer mentoring for research-focused WashU undergraduates from first-generation and low-income backgrounds.
Working with various student groups, the NGSS Graduate Division organizes networking and community-building events, professional development seminars, and scientific community outreach initiatives. Additional opportunities are available for informal advising and training in scientific presentation.
We hope you will join us in the NGSS Program as we strive to promote excellence and innovation in graduate education.
