The Out in STEM Symposium is an annual event held by oSTEM @ the University of Colorado, Boulder to celebrate and empower LGBTQ+ students in STEM fields. In the past, we've held events such as professional panels, affinity groups for LGBTQ+ students with intersectional identities, games, social events, keynote speakers, and a grad student research roundtable.

This year, we will be holding a panel of queer-identifying professionals about their experiences being LGBTQ+ in STEM fields and careers. Afterwards, we will have an informal networking hour with the panelists.

The oSTEM Symposium takes place in the spring semester. Check back here later for information about the 2023-2024 Symposium!
