The mission of the First Year Research Experience (FYRE) program is to build a community of STEM students, faculty and professionals from various STEM backgrounds to support young STEM majors or potential majors as they form identities as members of the scientific community, thus improving the likelihood that they will persist to graduation. FYRE is supported by funding from the Helen Clay Frick Foundation.
