About the Project
In an effort to increase and celebrate diversity, the Association of Multicultural Scientists is heading an initiative known as the "Ambassadors for Diversity". The purpose of the project is to give prospective students an idea of who they can talk to about University Michigan's PIBs Program and Any of the other 14 Programs under PIBS from the perspective of someone belonging to a group/identity similar to their own.
​
We understand that specific communities, backgrounds, and identities have unique needs and concerns regarding Graduate school, Programs, and Michigan in general. We hope to help prospective students belonging to those who have these specific needs and concerns find someone they can talk to and ask questions.
About AMS
We are a graduate student organization comprised primarily of historically underrepresented students in PhD programs in the Program in Biomedical Sciences (PIBS) and others pursuing scientific training at the University of Michigan medical school since 1991. We are dedicated to the support, retention, and recruitment of historically underrepresented students in the sciences. Our goal is to assist students in their successful completion of the Ph.D. by offering activities and support which will meet academic, social, and professional needs in an atmosphere of cultural context and comfort. We are open to all incoming PIBS students as well as PhD students in other science fields, who want to contribute to and support the multicultural environment in science!
We organize academic, social, professional development, and outreach events on a regular basis. Check out our events to get a better idea of what we do and contact us if you want to get notified about them and join our community!
