Abstract :
The Binghamton success program, which is part of the N.S.F. funded L.S. Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation in New York State, seeks to increase both enrollment and retention of historically under-represented groups in mathematics, the sciences and engineering. The program has achieved success over the course of its seven-year existence.
