Abstract
In the light of increasingly competitive global markets and rapid technological and
demographic changes at home, it is imperative that America produce many more well prepared
scientists and engineers from all backgrounds. Freeman Hrabowski has served as the Principal
Investigator on his university’s National Science Foundation ADVANCE grant, and he chaired the
National Academies Committee that recently produced the report, “Expanding Underrepresented
Minority Participation: America’s Science and Technology Talent at the Crossroads.” For decades
a champion of expanding STEM participation by students from all backgrounds, Hrabowski will
address best practices and lessons learned in STEM education, particularly as they relate to the
transformation of institutional cultures.
