HBCU Approaches

Overcoming URM barriers to undergraduate STEM persistence

This talk will center on tactics and pedagogical approaches that have been successful in a school profile that is seemingly outside the norm, Oakwood University. A denominationally linked, 1600 total student population Private HBCU in Huntsville, Alabama that is top 5 in the country in producing successful professional school applicants of color and 22nd in the nation among all schools in a number of students successfully completing doctorates in natural sciences and engineering.
