UTM Stem Scholars Program
The UTM STEM Scholars Program is coordinated by the Experiential Education Unit in the Office of the Vice-Principal Academic and Dean, UTM, in collaboration with the Department of Chemical & Physical Sciences, the Office of the Registrar, and several other campus partners.
Experiential Education Unit (EEU)
The EEU at UTM aims to enrich the undergraduate education experience by promoting and nurturing unique opportunities and approaches to learning both within and outside of the classroom. Visit the EEU table in the Kaneff Centre to chat with an EEU staff member or EEU Student Ambassador to learn about experiential learning opportunities in STEM disciplines.
The UTM STEM Scholars Program Coordinator in the EEU will be on site throughout the event and available to address questions from student applicants and their parent. They can provide information on the applications process, program requirements, Summer Bridge residency, and more!
