¡MIRA! (Center for Materials Interfaces in Research and Applications) is a DIVERSITY and MATERIALS SCIENCE center. We wear our diversity on our logo and on our sleeve and created a center, that is equally as good at world-class science as we are in creating a world-class workforce that is as diverse as we are. Our ¡MIRA! logo is an explicit recognition of the demographics of our surrounding states, one that is multicultural, and a message that is deliberately welcoming Historically Minoritized Populations to enter career paths in Materials Science and STEM. Our center is unlike any materials center in the Nation. We bring our whole selves to ¡MIRA! and we hope you will also.
