Equity in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Entrepreneurship (ESTEME) is a graduate student organization dedicated to improving equity and inclusion in STEM fields and entrepreneurship. Initiated under the UC Davis Biotechnology Program in 2014, ESTEME has since evolved into an interdisciplinary group that seeks to promote meaningful community involvement from graduate students across a wide range of majors. Our mission is to: (i) inspire individuals from underrepresented groups to pursue careers in STEM and entrepreneurship through outreach and community service; (ii) empower students to overcome and eliminate inequity based on gender, ethnicity/race, sexual orientation, and/or socioeconomic background; (iii) promote allyship and community responsibility for diversity/equity initiatives; (iv) raise awareness and generate critical conversation to reduce disparities in leadership roles; and (v) create opportunities to develop emotional intelligence and improve leadership skills such as communication, collaboration, and compassion. Programming in ESTEME typically focuses on providing members with opportunities for outreach, professional development, and engagement with local leaders. We also organize an annual diversity colloquium, during which a panel of professionals (typically from underrepresented minority groups) from industry and academia are invited to share their experiences and speak to students about equity and diversity-related topics.
