Beyond the Lab! is a week dedicated to building community and belonging in STEM by centering empowerment, resilience, and holistic wellness. Through interactive events, forums, and resource-sharing, we’re creating spaces for students to connect with peers, Benjamin Banneker Fellows, faculty, and staff—reflect on their experiences, and access resources that support both academic and personal success.

STEM at UCSB is demanding—beyond labs, lectures, and late nights. Care, collaboration, and community are essential to reduce isolation and foster thriving. This week, the MCC invites students to connect across identities and experiences, recognize the strength in diversity, and build networks that uplift and empower.
