Adapting Higher Education to Meet Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) Needs in the New Virtual Environment

This grant supports an expansion of Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA), via four primary components:

1.    Expanding MESA recruiting and support by growing collaborations with CAASE programs (EOP, PUERTA, etc).

2.    Providing incentives for Peer Mentors, undergraduate research, and MESA Honors, to support the financial needs of BIPOC students.

3.    Developing an online interactive guide for student success, which will be tested by MESA students.

4.    Bringing more BIPOC speakers to campus to interact with MESA students.
