DIVERSITY IS IN OUR DNA
iMIRA!: THE CENTER FOR MATERIALS INTERFACES IN RESEARCH & APPLICATIONS

¡MIRA! at Northern Arizona University (NAU) is a disruptive force in STEM, removing barriers between the worlds of STEM and cultural identities that often serve to limit the participation of women and historically minoritized communities. In ¡MIRA!, science, engineering, cultures and identities are woven together like a brightly-colored sarape to create a scientific home where students, faculty, staff and community members are invited to engage in scientific discovery, education and innovation by bringing their individual and cultural identities to make ¡MIRA!­ and our scientific communities stronger.
