Empowering underrepresented students can transform entire universities and lift outcomes for everyone. At one campus, a bold experiment helped African-American, Latino, and low-income students become top achievers in science and engineering, even as only 20 percent of Black and Hispanic students nationwide finish those majors. High expectations, tight-knit communities, hands-on research, and committed faculty help students not just survive but thrive across disciplines. When students take ownership and educators innovate, excellence becomes attainable for every background.
