We are A-STEP, a nonpartisan organization of graduate, undergraduate and professional students committed to bridging the gap between scientists, policy-makers, and the general public on scientific issues. Aggies in Science, Technology and Engineering Policy (A-STEP) has three main goals: 1. Advocacy: Communicating the importance of scientific research and endeavors to students, the community, government officials and funding agencies. 2. Professional Development: Allowing students to expand their career options by participating in science policy and interacting with professionals in this field and other areas. 3. Outreach: Fostering increased STEM education in the local and national communities through media, open house events, workshops and seminars.
