The
College of Computer, Mathematical, and Physical Sciences (CMPS) created the Science and Technology: Addressing the Need
for Diversity (STAND) program to address the longstanding national
need to increase the number of underrepresented groups, including
Black, Latino/a, Native American and women in the computer,
earth, mathematical and physical sciences. STAND serves as the
umbrella for the pre-college, undergraduate and graduate components
of the program. The initiative supports students by creating
a sense of community, rewarding academic excellence through
scholarships and fellowships, instilling the importance of community
involvement through recruitment and outreach activities, building
lasting relationships through mentoring, and preparing students
for success in graduate school, professional careers and beyond. IBM, Intel, Lockheed-Martin, GEICO, Goddard Space Flight
Center's Earth Sciences Directorate, Microsoft, the National Science Foundation, Raytheon Solipsys Corporation,
SAIC, and Verizon partner with CMPS
in support of the STAND program.
