Since its funding began in 2000, the EPP program with minority-serving institutions has produced 1,600 graduates in NOAA-mission fields from the nation's colleges and universities, including 173 doctorates earned in fields that NOAA describes as its "mission disciplines," according to Jacqueline Rousseau, EPP supervisory program manager.

Leigh Miles Jackson, PhD, is a senior program officer with the Board on Higher Education and Workforce at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, and the study director for Minority-Serving Institutions: America's Underutilized Resource for Strengthening the STEM Workforce.

There have been complaints for years about the limits of the federal method of tracking graduation rates, but this is the first study that has examined the impact on minority-serving institutions. This group of colleges and universities includes private and public institutions that enroll large percentages of black, Latino and/or Asian-American students, and low-income students, using specific definitions set by the federal government.

Content analyses of courses at 180 minority-serving institutions (MSIs) showed that atmospheric science courses were available at 91% of MSIs, of which half provide opportunities to explore the human dimensions of atmospheric science.

They examine the transition to campus life, as well as self-standing minority-serving institutions (like black colleges) and those within predominantly white schools.

In Chapter 2, "Minority-Serving Institutions and STEM: Charting the Landscape,' Stage, Lundy-Wagner, and John delineate the fact that HBCUs and Tribal College and Universities are similar in founding principles, yet Hispanic Serving Institutions (as of 1992) and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (as of 2008) are both largely predominantly White institutions (PWIs) that enroll a legally designated percentage of underrepresented students from designated racial/ethnic categories and are not historically rooted.

This essay looks to Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) for strategies that can be implemented in order to combat contemporary neoliberal attacks against the programmatic and institutional spaces of basic writing within Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs).
