The Mills Institute
Student Opportunities
The Mills Institute was formed in 2022 when Mills College merged with Northeastern in order to honor and advance Mills’ legacy of racial and gender equity. Based on the Oakland campus, the Institute offers programs for students in the Northeastern global network that challenge systemic inequality and facilitate the full inclusion of women, gender non-binary individuals, and BIPOC and other historically marginalized communities.
Russell Women in Science Leadership provides faculty-mentored high-impact research experiences and showcases accomplished women scientists who have achieved firsts in their fields.
Hellman Experiential Science Program connects undergraduate students with mentors from STEM and healthcare professions to work on individual projects that address pressing social issues in their respective disciplines and propose a solution.
Applications open!
