Posted on by

Hello CEE Majors,

LSAMP (Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation in STEM) is a valued campus partner and they are hosting a number of open houses and information sessions this week.

Please take a look at the attachments and email below and get started in building/expanding your campus community!

LSAMP is a community building program primarily funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and designed to provide connections and support for underrepresented (African Americans, Native American, Hispanic Americans and Pacific Island as defined by the Federal Government) undergraduate students pursuing a degree in the sciences, technology, engineering, and/or math (STEM) fields.

Hello Everyone,

I hope that everyone is doing well! We want to promote LSAMP, the center, other events happening this fall, and how students can stay connected with LSAMP.
