Maria Medina-Alva, 22, is the president of Cal Poly Pomona’s Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. She’s also president of the Alpha Pi Mu Industrial Engineering Honors Society.
It’s a career she dreamed of, but wasn’t always sure she could realize. But with the help of the nonprofit Great Minds in STEM, she now has the financial security and opportunity to work toward the title of engineer.
Through partnerships with schools, communities and corporations like Edison International, Great Minds in STEM is helping students from early education and well into the workplace.
