Planting the SEED for future STEM success
|
|
|
|
|
| |
In the late 1960s, when racial tensions, segregation, and a dearth of opportunities for minorities were sweeping the nation, the American Chemical Society (ACS) saw an opportunity for engagement and investment in underserved populations. So, in 1968, seeing that not only was this population at risk for missing out on educational and employment opportunities in the sciences but that industry had no access to this pool of potential candidates, ACS launched Project SEED. Now dubbed the Scientific Education Experiences for the Disadvantaged, Project SEED provides summer research experiences to over 350 students in 40 states interested in careers in chemistry-related industries. SEED has a long history in North Carolina!
Read more about it and be on the lookout for a follow-up to this story in April.
