Being Diverse in Our Support for STEM

September 1, 2013 | Public Programs

The article discusses ways racial and ethnic minorities are excluded from science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. According to the article, the lack of minority STEM professionals in industries is blamed on their less rigorous early educational experience, lack of mentors and difficult work environment. Library staff can help alleviate many of these disadvantages through teacher education and thoughtful programming for students in a professional environment.
