To maintain competitiveness in the global economy, United States
policymakers and national leaders are increasing their attention to
producing workers skilled in science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM). Given the growing minority population in the
country, it is critical that higher education policies, pedagogies,
climates, and initiatives are effective in promoting racial and
ethnic minority students' educational attainment in STEM. Minority
Serving Institutions (MSIs) have shown efficacy in facilitating the
success of racial and ethnic minority students in STEM and are
collectively responsible for producing nearly one-third of the
nation's minority STEM graduates. In Fostering Success of Ethnic
and Racial Minorities in STEM, well-known contributors share
salient institutional characteristics, unique aspects of climate,
pedagogy, and programmatic initiatives at MSIs that are
instrumental in enhancing the success of racial and ethnic minority
students in STEM education. This book provides recommendations on
institutional practice, policy, and lessons that any institution
can use on their campus to foster better retention and persistence
among minority students. Higher Education leaders and
administrators interested in encouraging achievement among racial
and ethnic minority students in STEM education will find this book
a welcomed and timely addition to the discourse on promoting
minority student success.
