Model for Future Success

A Model for Future Success! As one of the first six “charter” alliances funded by the LSAMP program, WAESO has been not only successful but also a path-breaker for others since its initial planning grant in 1990. WAESO has been vision-driven, fully engaged in the support of the development of URM STEM students, preparing and motivating faculty at WAESO participating colleges and universities to engage in active mentoring, creating institutional inclusiveness for both student and faculty, providing faculty leadership, and ever increasing both quality and diversity.
