Admissions Criteria and Diversity in STEM Graduate Programs

The National Academies have suggested that increasing diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math will be critical to the future competitiveness of the US in these areas, and both the National Science Foundation and the American Physical Society are taking this seriously.

Casey Miller, Director for the MS program in Materials Science and Engineering and Associate Professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology, will discuss several opportunities that may help move toward meeting this goal, and, importantly, the potential benefits to programs and individual investigators willing to take on these challenges.
