Our Mission

The Sloan Indigenous Graduate Partnership (SIGP) seeks to transform graduate STEM education in ways that support:

  1. the incorporation of Indigenous perspectives, knowledge, values and experiences in STEM research, teaching, and engagement
  2. the ability of graduate students to address issues relevant to Indigenous communities
  3. a sense of belonging for and contribution to a community of SIGP scholars
  4. the expansion and strengthening of pathways and programs that encourage Indigenous students to apply to STEM graduate programs at the University of Kansas
