This year's theme — Aya: Rooted in Community, Rising in Excellence — drew from the Adinkra fern for its resilience, adaptation, and growth. To the Class of 2026: you are the roots and the rising. Congratulations — the legacy lives on. 🖤✨

Excellence was never meant to be earned in silence. It was meant to be witnessed, celebrated, and rooted in community. 🌿 On May 19th, we celebrated our Class of 2026 at the 5th Annual Black Excellence Graduate Celebration.

McMaster’s Biochemistry & Biomedical Sciences Summer Scholars Program is a paid, fully funded 12-week research opportunity—no prior lab experience required. Built for Ontario Black, Indigenous & 2SLGBTQIA+ STEM students. Applications are open.
Opportunities like this don’t always find us — so we make sure they’re shared. The Biochemistry & Biomedical Sciences Summer Scholars Program (SSP) at McMaster is a fully funded, paid summer research experience designed to expand access to STEM and remove barriers that have historically kept students out of labs. Over 12 weeks, scholars begin with a hands-on skills bootcamp and transition into real lab placements, gaining confidence, community, and meaningful research experience along the way. No prior research experience required — just curiosity, commitment, and passion. If you’re an Ontario STEM student who identifies as Black, Indigenous, and/or 2SLGBTQIA+, this opportunity was built with you in mind. Applications are now open.
