Opening doors and promoting diversity in science and engineering

Devin Williams, an outstanding BA Chemistry Major, has been accepted to the 2023 MIT-ACCESS program! He will travel to MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts and participate in the ACCESS program. This weekend-long program offers students an overview of graduate education through seminars, faculty talks and interactive sessions, all designed to give a greater understanding of the application process and an insight into the doors a graduate career can open.

The mission of the ACCESS program is to increase the diversity of qualified applicants to PhD programs in chemistry, chemical engineering and materials science throughout the United States. ACCESS is a weekend of educational and informative events that will introduce talented sophomores, juniors and seniors to the benefits of graduate education. The goal of ACCESS is not to prepare students for graduate school at MIT specifically, but rather to introduce them to the advantages of choosing a graduate career path at an institution that best meets each participant's individual needs.
