Hi, I’m CORA — STS’s AI-powered online navigator. I’m trained on hundreds of STS resources, including education, research, advocacy, career development, registries, and events — spread across multiple STS platforms. Instead of searching through all of them, just ask me. I’ll find the answer, point you to the right resource, and identify helpful programs and benefits.
