The Philadelphia Education Fund (PEF) is collaborating with GSK (Glaxo-Smith-Kline) on the Philadelphia STEM Ecosystem and Philadelphia STEM Equity Collective.

The goals of this group will be to:

• Equip members with a thorough understanding of the local STEM landscape.

2. We anticipate that the group will meet monthly (virtually), with some activity between meetings.
3. PEF commits to timely communication, well-run meetings, and consistent opportunities for participants’ input.
