AVC STEM Club

We have a lot of meetings, and each one possess a specific reason for gathering. Below are the different types of meetings and how often they occur:

General STEM Club Meetings

General STEM Club meetings are where all members meet up every Friday in Uhazy Hall 201 at 2:30pm. At these meetings, you can obtain important information about field trips, social events, and guest speakers. While extremely informative, we try our best to keep the meetings fun. At every meeting, there is a raffle held (which can be entered by signing in for attendance) where we give away 3D printed items (courtesy of our Secretary, Kayla). For for Zoom link to our general meetings or would like to add anything to the next meeting's agenda, please email our President, Megan Bennett, at mbennett22@avc.edu.

Ad-Hoc Committee Meetings

These committees are created upon demand for big events (e.g. the Halloween Carnival Committee) and meetings are scheduled as needed. Members of any committee are encouraged to join the ad-hoc committees, as they're a perfect opportunity to gain those STEM Hours and beef up their resume (what university doesn't like community involvement). Our Vice President, Nestor Flores, is the lead of these committees. If you have any questions, please email him at nflores23@students.avc.edu.

Committee Meetings

   While we all come together for our weekly meetings on Friday, each committee has their own designated meeting times throughout the week (see our monthly calendar for meeting dates, times, and locations). Whether you're interested in science, engineering, medicine, or simply being involved on campus, there's a committee for you! Each committee is led by their own Chair & Co-Chair and guided by a coordinating Advisor. To find your specific committee, click here.

Sub-Committee Meetings

   Depending on the committee, some may branch off into sub-committees (e.g. Undergrad. Research's American Coot Study). These sub-committees are specialized to work on individual projects within their committees, and may hold meetings as necessary. Each committee is led by their own Chair & Co-Chair and guided by a coordinating Advisor. To find more information about sub-committees in your specific committee, click here.

The Aerospace Club is an exciting community for students passionate about aviation, rocketry, and space exploration. Members collaborate on hands-on projects involving aerodynamics, propulsion, gaining real-world engineering experience. The club hosts workshops, competitions, and outreach events, fostering innovation and teamwork. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced enthusiast, the Aerospace Club provides a supportive environment to develop your skills, share ideas, and connect with like-minded individuals. Join us to push the boundaries of flight and explore the future of aerospace technology!

We meet every Wednesday at Yoshida Hall (YH-207) and every Friday at Enterprise Lab (EL-103) from 3:30-4:30 pm. Please email our Committee Chair, Melad Soliman (msoliman3@students.avc.edu), for more information.

The Pre-Health Committee is a place for future doctors, dentists, and veterinarians at AVC. We support students by sharing helpful resources, transfer information, and study tips for tough science classes. Members can connect with others at different stages of their education to learn what to expect and how to prepare. We also invite guest speakers, including doctors, dentists, veterinarians, and medical school representatives, who share valuable advice about professional school and careers.

Whether you’re pre-med, pre-dental, or pre-vet, the Pre-Health Committee is here to help you succeed with the right support, knowledge, and community!

We meet every Monday from 3:30pm to 5:00pm. Please feel free to reach out to Ana Mendez (amendezalvarez@students.avc.edu) or Luke Chung (lchung@students.avc.edu) for any questions.

The Undergraduate Research Committee welcomes all science minds! With new projects every semester, we experience the research process firsthand with personal help and mentorship from science professors. This includes brainstorming with peers, collecting data in the field or in a laboratory setting, analyzing data, and presenting findings not only to the STEM Club, but to conferences. This committee offers unique opportunities that not many schools offer! Any STEM student will benefit greatly from the skills and connections that Undergraduate Research offers.

We’d love to have you! We meet every Friday at 12:30pm in UH119 and you can email the Chair (Marlene Arrieta) or Co-Chair (Melanie Garcia) any time at or mgarcia262@students.avc.edu respectfully.
