Surrounded by stories of underrepresented and first-generation students lagging behind or switching out of STEM majors, three women saw an opportunity to shift the narrative. They created a new online speaker series, "The Next 10 Years: Helping STEM Students Thrive"; where faculty, staff, and students could share ideas, learn from one another, and build a community. They were all members of the Women in STEM Cooperative, which consists of a group of volunteers who are dedicated to advancing women in STEM in their respective communities. It is now in its third season with participants from 56 institutions, eight organizations, four countries, and 23 states.
