Description
This work uses empirical studies to examine how institutions can better attract and support students from diverse backgrounds in STEM disciplines. Covering practical topics including recruitment and mentoring and inspiring examples of innovative course programming, this book showcases specific institutions with a track record for investing in the inclusion and success of underrepresented groups. This is a valuable resource for institutions seeking to implement
effective strategies to acquire, train, mentor, and retain talented individuals from historically underrepresented groups.
