About ESTEME
ESTEME was formed in 2013 as Women in Leadership (WIL) by two graduate students, Nicole Nuñez and Jeni Lee. Since then, we have expanded to become a graduate student organization with over 200 members. Our mission is to eliminate social disparities in STEM professions, entrepreneurship, and leadership positions by encouraging community engagement, empowering students, and generating critical conversation on diversity and equity issues.
