On May 12, Caltech hosted the inaugural Conference for Emerging Black Academics in STEM (CEBAS), organized by the Black Scientists and Engineers of Caltech (BSEC) and the Caltech Center for Inclusion and Diversity (CCID).
Scholars from across Southern California convened at Dabney Hall on campus to present research at the forefront of various STEM fields and discuss their experiences as Black academics. Caltech president Thomas F. Rosenbaum and BSEC co-presidents Evan Haze Nuñez and Thomas Henning gave opening remarks, which were followed by a session of talks across a wide range of disciplines. More than 80 attendees joined the conference in person and remotely via Zoom.
