- Provides a community and faculty peer cohort to mentor and sponsor underrepresented students as they move forward with their careers
- Amplifies the research and personal stories of underrepresented students
- Allows ASU and other college/universities the chance to meet and recruit promising future faculty candidates
- Connects the scientific community to openly discuss better ways to recognize bias, to be an ally, and promote students and faculty of color in academia
