Welcome to the 2021 AISES Annual Report! Thank you for reading this overview of what proved to be an exciting year for the AISES family. The theme of this year’s report – Illuminating the Future – is especially resonant because it shines a light on so much of what we do at AISES. Yes, we are focused on the future, preparing young people to find their professional footing in STEM. But at the same time, we know that what they contribute is illuminated by the rich cultural legacy they bring to every endeavor.
