Access Network Assembly 2025

The Access Network is a community of undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, staff, and faculty who are working to create more equitable, inclusive, and accessible STEM spaces. The network connects and supports student-driven programs at nine universities across the country. You can learn more about us at our website!

Each year, Access hosts the Assembly, an event that brings together student leaders from across our network to engage in professional development, build community, and support one another in improving their departments.

This year's Assembly is scheduled to take place in mid-June. However, the grants from the National Science Foundation that support Access's work were recently canceled, and we are scrambling to piece together funding to continue to hold the Assembly in person. Any money that we collect through this campaign will be used to fund housing, food, and transportation costs necessary for running the Assembly.

Additionally, an anonymous donor has offered to match donations made by 11:59PM ET on Friday, May 9, up to $10,000!
