USC Queers in Engineering Science and Technology (QuEST) is a student-led organization that provides professional, social and academic support for students who identify as queer within the STEM community at USC. In this episode, Audrey chats with Nick and Mady, two Viterbi students who co-preside over QuEST. Tune in to hear about how QuEST has continued to build a supportive community in a virtual setting, professional opportunities through QuEST, and some excellent science memes. Thank you so much to Nick and Mady for sharing your stories!
