Lorelle Espinosa, ACE's vice president for research, testified May 9
before the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology at a
hearing looking into efforts to diversify the STEM workforce.
During her testimony, Espinosa encouraged Congress to expand funding
mechanisms for minority serving institutions (MSIs) that strengthen STEM
infrastructure, improve teaching quality at MSIs, and enhance
public-private partnerships.
Espinosa co-chaired the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering,
and Medicine’s Committee on Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), which
published the recent report, “Minority Serving Institutions: America’s Underutilized Resource for Strengthening the STEM Workforce.”
