Emerging Voices in STEM

The UHD SynergIE Program seeks to develop inclusive excellence in STEM through (1) faculty development leading to new approaches of education that engages modern first-generation students across all demographics and identities; (2) student & family engagement to build belongingness to UHD and the scientific enterprise; (3) and collaboration with UHD colleagues engaged in programs that promote the development of university-wide inclusive excellence. Inclusive excellence in education celebrates & nurtures human diversity in being, creativity, and thought; works to dismantle barriers that restrict student access & success; strives to provide equitable access to educational resources; and integrates these actions to develop an innovative university for Houston’s emerging citizenry.
