California Alliance for Maximizing Potential

Our Motto Scientists are best developed by other scientists serving as mentors who exhibit and expect scholarly excellence. The California Alliance for Maximizing Potential is designed for students in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics [STEM] fields pursuing graduate (Master/Doctoral) degrees. CAMP was established at the University of California, Riverside in 1991 and is funded by the National Science Foundation [NSF]. CAMP is a program that works to encourage NSF-declared underrepresented students in the STEM fields to successfully complete undergraduate science degrees and further pursue their studies at the graduate and professional level. The National Science Foundation considers an underrepresented minority in STEM as students with Black/African-American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, and Non-Filipino-Pacific Islander ethnic backgrounds reported at UCR at the time of admission. CAMP exists at nine of the UC campuses and at various California State Universities, California Community Colleges, independent colleges and universities, and national laboratories that together work to achieve a goal of doubling the numbers of minority students receiving a B.S. or a B.A. degree in the many science disciplines. CAMP, in addition to being a federally funded program for maximizing participation in scientific research, is a student organization that welcomes everyone! We will be revamping our meeting styles in the following school years with professional development workshops, fun social events, and faculty networking opportunities! 2025-2026 Officers: President - Yuna Aguilar Vice President - Talmage (TJ) Cobb Treasurer - Jason Herrera Social Media Coordinator - Galilea Flores
