Nanomedicine Academy of Minority Serving Institutions

The Nanomedicine Academy of Minority Serving Institutions is a collaborative model of higher education that provides state-of-the-art knowledge to under-served minority populations.
The Academy is dedicated to attracting students from racially and ethnically diverse populations, creating a interdisciplinary learning environment suitable for a diverse student body, and piloting new strategies for student learning & collaboration. The unique model of partnership allows not only recruitment and education of students from diverse backgrounds, but to bring geographically distant students together in new ways so that they can learn and benefit from each others’ diversity.

 

Outcomes
