We are a student chapter of the national organization, Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Latinos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS). Our mission is to promote diversity in the sciences. The national organization was founded by Chicano and Native American scientists; however, we welcome and include everyone who is interested in promoting diversity in science.

Our student chapter here at UW was formed over a year ago and our main objectives are to recruit and retain underrepresented minority students in the sciences at UW and provide a network of support and resources for current students. We have monthly meetings and organize various community outreach events as well.
