https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/03-16-2021/morgan-state-university-town-hall-supporting-stem-at-msu-and-other-hbcus

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) and Morgan State University (MSU) invite you to join a virtual town hall. Morgan State University is a public historically black research university known for its excellence in teaching, intensive research, effective public service and community engagement. During this event you will hear about federal STEM research opportunities for HBCUs, and specifically from MSU leadership and faculty on institutional initiatives to advance STEM education, workforce development, and research capacity.

This event is one in a series of town halls NASEM is conducting in collaboration with Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) to (1) promote the findings of the 2019 National Academies report, Minority Serving Institutions: America’s Underutilized Resource for Strengthening the STEM Workforce, (2) hear how HBCUs/MSIs are working to advance STEM workforce preparation, education, and research capacity, and (3) foster new discussions and solutions around these issues.

This event is supported by the Department of Defense HBCU/MI Program and the ECMC Foundation. The audience will have an opportunity to engage through Q&A throughout the agenda. Please contact jveras@nas.edu for event inquiries.
