The
Tennessee Louis Stoke Alliance for Minority Participation is a
program designed to improve the quantity and quality of
underrepresented scientists and engineers graduating each year with
a bachelor’s degree.
The
objectives of the program are: to recruit underrepresented students
to pursue science or engineering as a career, to improve the quality
of the learning environment for underrepresented science and
engineering students at all schools, and to ensure that a larger
number of undergraduate students are prepared to enter graduate
programs. Through the use of collaborative learning approaches,
mentoring activities involving faculty, staff, and upper-level
students, and hands-on research and internship experiences, the
project is able to nurture the development of underrepresented
students.
The
director for the University of Memphis TLSAMP grant is Dr. John
Haddock. The program coordinator is Regina J. Hairston.
