What is e-STEM?

The eSTEM initiative is funded by the Donofrio family STEM Enrichment Fund and was gifted to CEMS in 2022. The initiative supports STEM students working to enter and engage with STEM fields.

In math, the 'e' is known as Euler's number, which is the base for natural log and plays a crucial role in several concepts, one of which is compound interest or building upon the already existing structure and growing infinitely. Therefore, the 'e' stands for excellence, the ways in which students build upon collective knowledge systems and continue to impact the STEM field as they navigate STEM spaces on campus.

Discovery Hall 203A

The Discovery Room is an available study space for all CEMS students. You can access it with your Cat Card every day of the week.

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 am - 10:00 pm; Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 am - 6:00 pm

BOOST Math Tutoring Sessions 

eSTEM is collaborating with BOOST to provide tutoring sessions for eSTEM students. BOOST Sessions are recitations where an experienced undergraduate BOOST leader solves math problems for a group of students (not one-on-one). These are problem-solving lectures. Students benefit by watching how practice problems are solved.  Students then have the opportunity to practice similar problems.  Students also can ask questions during these sessions. 

BOOST Sessions will be on Wednesday evenings, from 5:00 PM until 6:00 PM, starting Wednesday, September 3rd, and running until Wednesday, December 3rd.  There will be no sessions on Wednesday, November 26th. The BOOST Sessions provide help to students in MATH 1212, MATH 1224, MATH 1234, MATH 1242, and MATH 1248.
