Support the Future of STEM: Donate to ACES on Giving Day! As we count down to the kickoff of our ninth annual #UCIGivingDay on April 22, we are grateful now more than ever for our Anteater community. The Access to Careers in Engineering and Sciences (ACES) program at UC Irvine’s Beckman Laser Institute & Medical Clinic is transforming the landscape of STEM by providing underrepresented students from historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) with unparalleled opportunities in research and graduate school preparation. This eight-week summer program empowers high-achieving undergraduates with: ? Hands-on, cutting-edge research experience ? Mentorship from esteemed faculty and graduate students ? Exposure to academic and industry career pathways ? Workshops to prepare for graduate school Over the last year, we have seen the strength we can pull from belonging to an innovative, highly driven community of academics, advocates, and healthcare workers. Your donation makes a direct impact—helping students overcome financial barriers and gain the skills and experience needed to become future STEM leaders. Every gift supports essential program costs like research supplies, housing, travel, meals, and stipends. Great things happen when the UC Irvine community comes together. #TogetherForUCIrvine UC Irvine
