Our Mission
PRISM Students

The Program for Research Initiatives in Science & Math (PRISM) supports science and math students by preparing them for success in college and beyond through academic and pre-professional guidance.


Our goal is to help our students see themselves as scientists and future professionals and to expose them to opportunities for further training and growth. The National Science Foundation, the National Academy of Sciences, and CUNY all recognized PRISM as a model of excellence for improving the number of students from underrepresented communities in the STEM pipeline.
