Achievement, Exploration Opportunities & Networking

AEON

AEON 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 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.

This initiative has transferred to the STEM Collaborative Center, so make sure to join the STEM listerve to stay informed!
