Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP)
The Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) at Stony Brook University is a crucial component of the SUNY LSAMP, an extensive network that includes the four university centers and various colleges within each center's region. Established in 1996, SUNY LSAMP has consistently received funding over the past 3 decades, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to its mission. The initiative aims to significantly increase the number of students from traditionally underrepresented minority groups who embark on STEM majors, with an expanded objective to inspire these students towards pursuing graduate-level education. It is important to note, LSAMP is tailored specifically for students focused on academic degrees in STEM fields, excluding those pursuing professional medical degrees like an MDs or RNs
At the heart of Stony Brook's LSAMP efforts is a comprehensive four-year academic
program that complements the CSTEP initiative. This program is meticulously designed
to offer a structured sequence of courses and seminars each semester, aimed at bolstering
students' academic performance, research capabilities, and essential life skills.
