If you are a recent college graduate or have career goals in STEM or education, the CSU STEM VISTA program provides a meaningful and rewarding experience.

Through the CSU STEM VISTA selection process, final candidates will be matched with one of our CSU campus teams. Matched VISTA members then work for that CSU campus team while participating in the CSU STEM VISTA leadership development program. ​​​
