Grant supports effort to attract Native American students to STEM fields
A collaboration between UMN campuses aims to break down barriers for students and spark interest in graduate programs in the biological sciences.
Nearly a quarter of students studying the biological sciences at the University of Minnesota Morris (UMM) identify as Native American, yet very few go on to pursue graduate studies in biology. A new initiative aims to illuminate the reasons why in hopes of boosting the number of Native American students who pursue graduate degrees and go on to careers in STEM fields.
