2016. This is after a 9.9% tuition increase in 2012-2013. Withcuts to financing programs and other federal grants, the burden of paying for college may detereconomically disadvantaged URMs from going to college or graduating from college. The effects of the budget cuts and tuition increases can be seen in the decrease in enrollmentat HBCUs. Of the eleven HBCUs in NC, only three saw enrollment percentage increases in full-time students, while seven saw double digit decreases from 2010-2013. Smaller colleges anduniversities such as HBCUs and UNCP, which are URM dominated, have smaller endowmentsand depend heavily on tuition dollars and government funding to continue operations.C.

involved. It did not take too much time awayfrom the REU students’ research activities, yet provided them with an opportunity to reach out toyounger students. It provided the REU students with an opportunity to work on theircommunication skills. By requiring the REU students to share their experiences and enthusiasmfor engineering, it reminded them of the reasons why they chose to pursue engineering or STEMdegrees in the first place. Given the positive outcomes of this experiment, it is our intention toorganize such activities in future REU program offerings.Acknowledgments:The author gratefully acknowledges the support of the National Science Foundation REUprogram NSF award # EEC-1359137 (2014-2017), award # EEC-1004915 (2010-2013) andaward # EEC
