CENS 5th Annual Research Review

Abstract

At CENS, our diversity initiatives continue to grow. We have developed several programs and partnerships that are designed to increase the number of underrepresented students pursuing advanced degrees in CENS related fields. To that end, we have developed a number of key projects to help establish a pipeline to graduate school and CENS research. Our Women@CENS program is designed to promote gender equity by focusing on our summer internship program as well as conducting a study on promising practices of undergraduate research programs nationally. With the completion of our study we look forward to sharing the findings on promising diversity practices. CENS has also continued to develop and maintain relationships and collaborations with partnering institutions and local colleges and organizations that focus on serving underrepresented students.
