UTICA, N.Y. — The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Utica College a grant to help the school increase the number of students from “underrepresented minorities” earning bachelors’ degrees in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.
Utica College is part of the Central New York Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP). It includes a group of schools throughout upstate New York, such as Ithaca College, SUNY Cortland, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Tompkins Cortland Community College, and Herkimer College.
The National Science Foundation’s LSAMP is designed to assist colleges and universities in “diversifying” the nation’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics workforce by increasing the number of STEM degrees to populations historically underrepresented in these disciplines.
