The MI-LSAMP Plan
The Michigan Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation
aims to double the annual number of minority students earning baccalaureate degrees in
science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. To achieve this goal, the four
partner universities are sharing and implementing retention best practices in the following
areas: research, mentoring, high school-to-college transition support, pre-first year
summer programs, all-student events and a comprehensive student support services
delivery system.
