Description
|
To create a variety of
transportable strategies for change, the MOST program is
working with eighteen diverse institutions and one regional
cluster of colleges to improve the academic climate for
students of color. The program targets five of the most
critical elements affecting institutional diversity:
departmental climates, curricula, research training,
mentoring, and the academic pipeline. An Inequality Study
Group sponsors speakers and workshops, works with faculty to
revamp courses, and plays a key role in the mentoring
process. The program recognizes mentoring as one of the most
effective ways to bring about change. MOST holds an annual
conference of site coordinators from participating
universities, summer training institutes for students and
faculty, and departmental visits which include face-to-face
meetings with diverse students.
