SUNY ESF
Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP)
The mission of the NSF funded grant program is to support underrepresented students
of color in higher education to prepare for entry into science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) fields. At SUNY ESF, those fields include Environmental Science
and Forestry broadly.
SUNY ESF is a member of the Central New York LSAMP Alliance (CNYLA), one of seven
participating regional colleges and universities.

What is LSAMP?
The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) initiative supports historically
underrepresented students in STEM.
With resource sharing, the seven CNYLA schools are committed to working together to amplify benefits to their URM students:
-
Improved faculty-student relationships through mentoring
-
Strengthened student-peer relationships
-
Increased early opportunities for first- and second-year students to participate in research as a complement to faculty's already strong involvement of upper-division students in research
-
Facilitated STEM transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions. Such programming will help prepare students for 21st century STEM careers through strong experiential learning and professional development activities
