About Us

The Harvard Society of Black Scientists and Engineers seeks to support Black Harvard students pursuing degrees in life sciences, engineering, applied sciences, and other STEM fields. Our primary aim is to foster a sense of community among Black students in STEM at Harvard through offering academic and career advising, professional development workshops, help in the job and internship search, and various social events. We also seek to impact the wider Cambridge community by encouraging students to pursue STEM through mentoring and tutoring. Ultimately, we strive to combat underrepresentation in the sciences by facilitating the growth of black scientists at every level.
