Responsibilities of OK-LSAMP STEM Scholars

SWOSU OKAMP-SMETOK-LSAMP STEM, the Oklahoma Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation in Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology, was formed in 1992 as a consortium of 27 colleges and universities.  The Alliance shares a goal with the National Science Foundation -- to increase the supply of underrepresented minority citizens holding a degree in STEM-related fields and prepared to pursue post-baccalaureate graduate training prior to entering the STEM-based workforce.  The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education sponsored a pilot Summer Bridge Program in 1994.  This served as a successful prototype for what is presently the multifaceted OK-LSAMP STEM Program now sponsored by the National Science Foundation.  At present, there are 27 other LSAMP's throughout the country.
