Diversity in STEM Art Contest - Department of Biology

Last winter we held our annual Diversity in STEM Art Contest!  We celebrated the contributions that individuals from diverse walks of life have made to the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).  Artistic contributions were exhibited as part of the Diversity in STEM festivities during the week of February 5-9, 2024.  Any artistic medium that could be displayed on either an easel or a tabletop was welcome and cash prizes were awarded!

Contest guidelines:

• Art pieces must relate to the intersection of human diversity and STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).  Contributors will be asked to write a brief explanation of how their piece highlights the theme of Diversity in STEM.
• Any medium that can be displayed as described above is welcome (e.g., painting, sketch, photograph, sculpture, wood carving, etc.).
• We welcome submissions from students, faculty, staff, or community members.
• Pieces must be ready to be displayed without difficulty on an easel, shelf, or tabletop.  Submissions should be delivered to the David Lucas Atrium on the 2nd floor of Weston Hall between 9am and noon (12pm) on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024.  Pieces will remain on display through the end of the week.
• Contestants must fill out this online form to provide information about their piece of artwork.  Forms can be submitted at any time between now and when the artwork is dropped off.

This contest was sponsored by the NMU Biology Department in conjunction with the 2024 Week of Diversity in STEM.
