STEM Career-Life Balance Resource Center
Career-Life Balance (CLB) is the idea that family and career are compatible pursuits. The CLB Resource Center aims to increase participation in STEM careers by raising awareness of the successful coexistence of STEM career and family, and by providing the tools to plan for both.
