benefits and challenges of working with astatewide program for underrepresented minorities in a state with a low population of minoritystudents and with differing institutional characteristics across campuses. Such benefits andchallenges will be analyzed within the context of a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, andthreats (SWOT) analysis1. Initially, the LSAMP Indiana program goals will be provided.Drawing upon evaluation reports, the authors will then present the SWOT analysis of theLSAMP Indiana program. Finally, lessons learned from conducting a large-scale diversityinitiative and transferable ways to engage the next generation of underrepresented students inSTEM educational and professional development activities will be identified.Program

Dr. Arafin’s work has been published in several top-tier peer-reviewed journals and conferences, such as IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration Systems (TVLSI), ACM International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD), and Asia and South Pacific De- sign Automation Conference (ASP-DAC). He won the IEEE Asian Hardware Oriented Security and Trust Symposium (AsianHOST) best paper award in 2018. He was a recipient of the prestigious A.

, and computer science. The long term goals of this project are to increaseparticipant interest in STEM careers and college attendance. In the short term, we anticipateincreased technology proficiency, STEM engagement and academic achievement. Additionaloutcomes include increased teacher and mentor understanding of STEM instruction delivery andmentorship. This presentation will provide evaluation results and lessons learned during the firstyear of this project, including the effects of strategies, such as mentorship and early exposure touniversity-based STEM resources. Recommendations for developing a prototypical process fordeveloping programs that broaden participation of underrepresented students will also bediscussed.IntroductionIn many

The computer science department emphasized the use ofcontinuous improvement as a strategy for engaging faculty in change processes and departmentalpolicy. We offer the theoretical framing of Kezar’s model for developing student supportstructures using four mechanisms for change, and provide recommendations based on theexperience of one University of Texas at El Paso.Theoretical FrameworkDrawing from the current state of the research on higher education organizational change inundergraduate STEM reform efforts, an underlying premise of the theory of change
