The program focuses on undergraduate students who have historically been excluded from STEM areas of study. The desire is to foster institutional change toward inclusive, equitable, and just STEM education. The ISU program will provide support to these students so that they may excel and become leaders in the STEM field, as well as professional development opportunities for STEM faculty and staff.
