Broadening Access to Science: Programs Elsewhere

In summer 2006, Lisa Short and Sara Lopez (2005 Science Scholars, '09) searched the web sites of the top liberal arts colleges and research universities (as ranked by US News & World Report) for programs that broaden access to science. Their work was supported by Carleton's Science Education Resource Center (SERC) and our HHMI grant. Mary Savina (Geology) and Trish Ferrett (Chemistry) supervised the project. We hope the resources below will aid our efforts to expand and integrate programming at Carleton.
