Building an inclusive environment that promotes diversity requires commitment and contribution from all of our members to educate oneself on basic cultural competencies and champion diversity and inclusion efforts on campus and beyond. Caltech Diversity & Inclusion Ambassadors are individuals who align with the Caltech Center of Inclusion & Diversity's mission and vision towards greater education, action and ally-ship. This program is open to the entire Caltech community.

The First-Year Success Research Institute- FSRI (formerly Freshman Summer Research Institute) provides a comprehensive orientation and academic support program designed to ease the transition from high school to college while building a solid research foundation. FSRI is designed to introduce incoming underrepresented and/or underserved first-year students to Caltech's research and math curriculum, culture, academic rigor, and student support services.

The Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship (MMUF) is a prestigious national program focused on increasing the number of underrepresented students who will pursue doctorate degrees in core fields in the arts and sciences. Fellowships include mentoring, research stipends, and travel support (conferences, graduate school visits, etc.).

The Caltech Center for Inclusion & Diversity is excited to invite STEM faculty, scholars, and experts to explore the intersections of their various identities, advocacy, and activism with their science. The purpose is to highlight scholars who historically excluded, minoritized, or marginalized in STEM and working to advance inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility in the scientific community. We hope that the audience will be able to explore their own path through the world of STEM and reflect on how their science interacts with who they are as a broader person.
