SACNAS chapter at UW

Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science

SACNAS (Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science) is a national society with a 37-year history of supporting minority scientists and science students. Our chapter was founded in 2007, and is proud to have received the following awards since then:

2011 Chapter of the year

2010 Role model chapter - Outreach Excellence

2009 Chapter of the year of medium size (10-19 members)

Our partnership with Royal City High School's pre-college chapter is just one of ways our chapter is committed to community outreach. UW SACNAS would also like to thank our sponsors their continued help and support.

SACNAS is an inclusive organization. Student chapters enhance year-round mentorship and networking opportunities for SACNAS student members. Through participation in SACNAS chapters, students, postdocs, faculty, and chapter advisors gain ongoing, local support for their development as scientists and science leaders.
