This session aims to address the underrepresentation of minorities in Earth and Geosciences fields by exploring effective strategies, sharing success stories, and discussing challenges. It welcomes presentations from academic leaders, industry professionals, and policymakers who are actively working to create inclusive environments and opportunities for minority groups and attain the STEM gap that still exists for minoritized and underrepresented student community.
