GoSTEM at IU Indianapolis and IU School of Medicine

The purpose of Graduate OUT in STEM (GoSTEM) at Indiana University Indianapolis (IUI) is to foster a community for LGBTQ+ graduate students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. We seek to encourage the success of LGBTQ+ students in STEM through both personal and professional development, aiming specifically at developing leadership skills through scientific outreach to the community, mentorship for at risk LGBTQ+ youth, and advocacy for creating policies and procedures in the IU School of Medicine and IUI that prevent discrimination against faculty, students and post-doctoral staff based on LGBTQ+ status. In addition, this organization will act as a safe space to build community and offer support to LGBTQ+ graduate students.
