Achievement, Exploration Opportunities & Networking (AEON) Workshop Series




Achievement, Exploration Opportunities & Networking for STEM students is a collaborative effort across many interdisciplinary programs at the University of New Mexico. The focus of AEON is to strengthen skills, build connections, and provide resources for the success of STEM students, regardless of their specific field of study. We attain these goals by offering various workshops throughout the semester, open to all UNM students.

These regularly scheduled lunchtime (provided) workshops will provide students with information regarding degree planning and career exploration, keeping undergraduates connected with the many possibilities afforded to them by STEM degrees.

Upcoming events can be found on the AEON Page of the STEM Gateway program, the S3 Google calendar (which can be directly added to your mobile device using this server address: https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/s3atunm%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics) or, you can receive email reminders by signing up to the S3 listserve by sending an email to s3atunm@gmail.com with the subject “subscribe”.

ALL EVENTS are held from 12- 1 pm (unless otherwise noted).  Feel free to come to any or all of the workshops, as your schedule permits.

LUNCH IS PROVIDED!
