Why Join?
Students are more likely to succeed in STEM when they feel like they are part of a community, believe in the values of the community they are part of, and also have tools and know-how to succeed in their career. These are developed through opportunities to build relationships with students, faculty and staff; participating in research, internships, or other professional development opportunities; and most importantly, feeling valued in these academic and social communities. Students who join LSAMP are able to build to and contribute such communities.
