Hello, I'm Eisha Clyde!
Founder and Executive Director of The HBCU STEMulUS.
I established this organization because I noticed that students often lack the guidance they need to achieve their career goals after completing college. While they have a clear vision of what they want to accomplish, they may not know how to get there. As someone who has been in their shoes, I believe I have a duty to help students not only understand their desired career paths but also to help them create a plan of action.

Her passion for science and interest in scientific research led to her graduate school career.
As a graduate student at Towson University, Eisha studied the NF-κB cellular signaling pathway in Kaposi’s Sarcoma Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV). She also had the opportunity to teach introductory biology courses to undergraduate students. While in graduate school, Eisha recognized her passion for mentorship.

After much prayer and wise counsel, Eisha created an organization called The HBCU STEMulUS, Inc.
