"Beating the Odds: Preparing Underrepresented Minority Students for STEM Careers"

Rapid and dramatic demographic and technological changes present our nation’s colleges, universities, and schools with enormous challenges for educating and preparing students – particularly underrepresented minority students – for careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. Among the most critical questions we face are what will students need to know in order to succeed academically, and what skills and values must they possess? Additionally, what strategies can colleges and universities use to support and ensure the successful recruitment, retention, and graduation of students from all backgrounds in these fields? Answers to these questions will substantially affect the quality of life of all Americans and the nation’s global competitiveness in the first part of the 21st century.

Founded by Bernice Johnson Reagon in 1973 at the D.C. Black Repertory Theater Company, Sweet Honey In The Rock has evolved into an internationally renowned a cappella ensemble and a vital and innovative presence in the music culture of communities of conscience around the world.

The Biblical metaphor of sweet honey in the rock—sustenance and strength—captures completely these African American women whose repertory is steeped in the sacred music of the black church, the clarion calls of the civil rights movement, and songs of the struggle for justice everywhere.

Their performances are at once grand celebrations of gorgeously blended song and occasions for affirmation of the highest values of humanity.

The Grossman Gallery, in the Williams Visual Arts Building, is one block from the Delaware River and sits directly over the Bushkill Creek. Both bodies of water have overflowed their banks in recent years. Knee Deep and Risin', created by Jim Toia and Noah Vawter, is a multimedia installation of video and audio feeds from both waterways. Infrared sensors, triggered by visitors' moving the exhibition screens, activate live and recorded video and audio, simulating flood events from fresh perspectives. Knee Deep and Risin' is an interdisciplinary project by Lafayette College's Department of Computer Science, Department of Art, Grossman Gallery, Community Based Teaching Program, and the Lehigh Valley Performing Arts High School.
