Science Bound: A Team Approach to Increasing Campus Diversity at a Majority Institution

Author: Kathy Trahanvsky (Iowa State University)

Abstract

How does a predominantly white institution in a predominantly white state increase the number of in-state minority students pursuing science and technology degrees? Science Bound was created at Iowa State University in 1989 to answer these questions. By teaming with Des Moines public schools, area businesses, families, and the ISU Foundation, ISU's Science Bound is increasing the number of ethnic minority students pursuing technical degrees at ISU. The presentation will discuss program development, components, evaluation, and outcomes.
