<span class="gmailmsg">The Scientista Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that empowers pre-professional women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through content, communities, and events. Our mission is to address the lack of resources,
 community, and role models for college women in science and engineering.&nbsp; Scientista serves to connect all communities of women in STEM at campuses across the nation and internationally, giving such important organizations more visibility and resources, and
 building a strong, cohesive network of women in science that can act as one voice.&nbsp; Scientista is currently the largest network of campus women across STEM disciplines with chapters and affiliates at 15&#43; universities across the country and internationally</span><br>
