Archived STEM Gateway Blog

The STEM Gateway Program was a Department of Education TITLE V grant that was active at UNM from 2011 - 2016 with the mission to increase the number of Hispanic and low-income students attaining STEM degrees. The initiatives focused on resources on undergraduate science & math courses that serve as gateways to STEM degrees, adntaht traditionally have had low success rates.

In the final year of the grant, they put together an excellent blog series with four rotating topics. We encourage you to read through these!

Our goal is to get students to understand that the path to their careers and success is not always a straight line; to highlight the broad possibilities for them with STEM degrees, outside of the traditional or obvious pathways; to think about their STEM education in a way that they may not realize; and to encourage them to persist despite challenges they will encounter. We want students to realize the possibilities of their STEM education.
