Student Testimonials
The Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program supports universities and colleges in their efforts to significantly increase the number of students matriculating into and successfully completing high-quality degree programs in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines, thereby expanding the STEM workforce. Particular emphasis is placed on transforming undergraduate STEM education for all STEM students through innovative, evidence-based recruitment and retention strategies, as well as relevant educational experiences that have been shown to support the success of groups historically underrepresented in STEM disciplines.
