This thesis examined how the investigators of twenty NSF-funded articles examined the experiences of Latinx students in STEM.

As higher education changes, particularly at the UB, the need for persons in leadership positions who can bring groups together in spite of differences, will be critical. According to Machiavelli (1961), there is nothing more difficult to plan, more uncertain of success, or more dangerous to manage than the …
