Social Responsibility
As a scientist, educator and mentor, Dr. Michelle Tu is committed to helping young women obtain educations and careers in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. She has worked with Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services to provide educational assistance, enrichment activities and cutting-edge technology at no cost to young girls from underserved communities. Dr. Tu has also served as a mentor to several female high school students pursuing college degrees in STEM through the Sheldon Biotech Academy Mentoring Program. She was recently invited to speak at Stanford University's Diversity in STEM Symposium, where she shared her journey into STEM to help motivate and inspire young women to become leaders and pioneers in STEM.
In continuing Dr. Tu's commitment to females in STEM, CURA Skincare will donate a portion of proceeds to Girls Inc. of Alameda County to support STEM programs, providing young girls from low-income, underserved communities access to valuable skills, experience and opportunities in STEM fields.
