Description
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES 2018) reports that only 6% percent of the nation’s professoriate are Hispanic/Latinos. This Hispanic Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (H-AGEP) program was created to increase the number Hispanic faculty trained with innovative teaching skills, and to advance knowledge about models to improve pathways to the professoriate and success of historically underrepresented minority (URM) graduate students, particularly Hispanics, in STEM disciplines. The panelists will discuss the new model components, program accomplishments, and lessons learned.
