In June 2020, the Black Scientists & Engineers of Caltech (BSEC) held a town hall to present a list of action items that Caltech could take to make it a more diverse & inclusive environment. The petition, signed by over 1,000 Caltech affiliates, garnered administration's response in July 2020.
“Before attending the conference, being a doctor or a scientist seemed like something I could only dream about, but talking to people in these careers helped me to see that they are just like everyone else.” - PUSD@ABRCMS Attendee
"Community is an emergent part of human society. Everyone has skills, ideas, knowledge, and wisdom that could benefit somebody else. At Caltech, we do incredible science and engineering, but we can do more to invest in our community. I want to see Caltech live up to its fullest potential." - Sarah Sam
