| This talk will focus on two ongoing programs at Louisiana State University (LSU) for enhancing the participation and education of a diverse group of undergraduate and graduate students in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The first program is the Louisiana-STEM (LA-STEM) program which focuses on undergraduate students. This program is designed to enhance the educational performance of a high achieving diverse student population. The LA-STEM program fosters a “community of learners” atmosphere by providing an environment which focuses on peer-mentoring, metacognition (learning how to learn), time management, and undergraduate research. The elements and success of this program to date will be outlined and discussed. A second program, which focuses on graduate education, will also be highlighted. This latter program will focus on the recent transformation of the chemistry graduate program at LSU, which now produces the largest number of African American Ph.Ds in chemistry in the entire country. The elements of this abrupt transformation of the LSU chemistry department, as well as the impact on the entire department and College of Basic Sciences, will be discussed. |
