Amplify STEM Video Initiative

Help us amplify the voices of STEM professionals from underrepresented backgrounds!

Video Information

Create a 2-5 minute video highlighting an underrepresented STEM professional. According to the National Science Foundation (NSF), women, people with disabilities, and individuals who are Black, Hispanic/Latino/a/e/x, and Indigenous are underrepresented in STEM.
Video should be creative and engaging but appropriate for public viewing
Video can be presentation style, poetic, song or any other style that will creatively and clearly convey a message that will touch on the points required for the submission
Selected videos will be shared on the MSU Amplify STEM YouTube Channel and be promoted on host colleges’ social media pages and websites.
Creators of selected videos will receive an MSU Amplify STEM t-shirt for their participation
Submitter must be an employee or student of Michigan State University
Selected STEM Professional can be past or present
Videos should include the following:
- Introduce yourself: Name, pronouns if you would like to share them, college/department/program, role at MSU, major (for students)
- Introduce your underrepresented STEM Professional
- Provide a brief background of their life
- Provide information about their work
- Provide what the impact of their work has had or will have on society
- Provide what motivated you to select this person
Submissions should be shared via MediaSpace and will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with selected presentations posted by the start of the next month.
