Meet Our Team
Collaborative. Transparent. Impact-driven.
The Roaring Cubs Collective was founded in 2023 by two university students, Pranay and Karina, who are committed to the belief that students of all backgrounds should have the opportunity to engage with their scientific passions and develop foundational research skills during their pre-college years.
Current and Past Mentors
Dedicated. Friendly. Passionate.
Our executive board (above) and mentors work with students in one-on-one settings, providing personalized guidance as students progress through the STEM Research Scholars Program (SRSP). Mentors are also open to sharing their stories and providing advice about academics and college in general.
