Institutional Diversitywww.diversity.mtu.eduThe Office for Institutional Diversity reports to the president and has responsibility for leadership in advancing diversity at all levels of the University. The special assistant to the president for institutional diversity works collaboratively with the provost, deans, and academic units, and provides regular input to student affairs. The special assistant serves as the president’s liaison to a number of state and national organizations and corporations to increase visibility, funding, and knowledge; supporting the recruitment, retention, and success of a diverse faculty, staff, and student body. The development and implementation of academic and student affairs’ diversity plans, fundraising activities, and competitive proposals, including strategic diversity initiatives, are advised by the Office for Institutional Diversity. The ongoing cultural climate study is directed through Institutional Diversity (www.diversity.mtu.edu/Reports.php). The University has an extensive approach to diversity, which can be viewed at www.diversity.mtu.edu or see A Comprehensive Approach to Diversity chart in this fact sheet.

It is especially critical that our campus and community recognize, appreciate, and take full advantage of the value that diversity brings to learning, research, and personal and economic development. We invite you to join Michigan Tech in creating a diverse and inclusive university that graduates students who are truly prepared intellectually, personally, and socially to create the future in a national and global society.

Please contact Chris S. Anderson ([email protected] or 906-487-2474), if you would like additional information.

Institutional AccountabilityAn institution-wide challenge is to effectively assess and evaluate our diversity efforts. We regularly measure retention and graduation rates of students and recruitment outcomes of diverse faculty, staff, and students. The success of faculty is also critical to ensuring that we meet our short- and long-term diversity goals.

The charts and tables provided in this publication describe the longitudinal and current status of some of these measures. The University’s Strategic Plan dashboard (www.mtu.edu/stratplan) contains additional data. The National Science Foundation ADVANCE Program at Michigan Tech, Changing the Face at Michigan Tech, has resulted in extensive benchmarking and the establishment of tracking strategies for faculty recruitment and retention. The University regularly participates in national surveys and projects that help identify our challenges and strengths and provides comparative data and recommendations for improvement—e.g., the national Project to Assess Climate in Engineering (PACE) funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and conducted by the Center for Workforce Development at the University of Washington.

The 2005 Climate Survey provided a baseline from which change will be measured. A follow-up Climate Survey and focus groups were implemented during spring and fall 2010. This ongoing Climate Study will be updated, new recommendations made, and strategies that are working will continue to be supported and tracked.

EnrollmentMichigan Tech actively recruits students through extensive, academic year, on-campus events, and residential summer academic youth programs. These programs have an underrepresented minority participant rate of more than 40 percent and a female participation rate of approximately 50 percent. Over 1,000 precollege students participate in one- or multiple-week academic programs each summer. In addition, youth programs’ outreach and engagement, as well as enrollment management staff, collaborate with academic units and industry partners to design and deliver educational demonstrations and activities for students at their schools and at other off-site venues during the academic year.

The University recruitment and marketing plan supports an aggressive effort to attract female and minority students.

Outreach to students from groups that are underrepresented at Michigan Tech is an important component of the University’s diversity initiative.

Degrees Awarded to Underrepresented Minorities (URM)* and Women by Level and College 2008–09

About the DataIt is often difficult to compare Michigan Tech’s student graduation and retention rates to national norms. The way that these measures are calculated and the populations included in the term Underrepresented Minorities (URM) vary by institution.

At Michigan Tech, women are retained (86.8 percent first to second year) and graduate (71 percent) at a higher rate when compared to other populations and overall (82.5 percent and 64.6 percent respectively). Underrepresented minorities (Hispanic/Latino, African American, and Native American) students are retained at a rate approximately 5 percent less than other populations in the first two years. Years three and four and graduation rates for URM are similar, approximately 10 percent less. When examined more closely, however, the data indicates that greater numbers of these students migrate from engineering disciplines to the School of Business and Economics, the School of Technology, and some College of Sciences and Arts programs during this time (years three, four, and five).

The goal is to recruit greater numbers of underrepresented students to all of our undergraduate and graduate degree programs; increase retention and graduation rates to at least the same as our overall rates; and determine strategies that stop or mitigate the flow of URM students out of engineering. (Not selecting and/or leaving STEM fields is a national issue at which significant research is being directed.) Our programs are designed to address these issues using institutional and national research to support our work.

Faculty are increasingly successful in including strong, broader-impact components in successful research projects. Corporations and other agencies are also a critical resource for the University. Building internal and external collaborations is critical to ensuring that Michigan Tech meets its diversity goals.

Student Academic and Personal Support Michigan Tech’s Center for Diversity and Inclusion provides support mechanisms for all students, enhancing their learning environment and offering them personal and professional growth opportunities. The center focuses on mentoring and encouraging underrepresented student groups, including women, and sponsoring professional development programs to reinforce their success.

The ExSEL (Excelling the Student Experience of Learning) program is a partnership between the University’s Schools and Colleges, Office of Student Life, and the state of Michigan’s King-Chavez-Parks Initiative. Through course work, grade monitoring, and other support services, the program encourages success for first- generation and academically and economically disadvantaged students. The program promotes the use of campus resources such as the learning centers, academic advisors, and outreach coordinators from the Center for Diversity and Inclusion. ExSEL is part of COMPASS (Center for Orientation, Mentoring, Parents, and Academic Student Success), which provides additional support for students.

Michigan Tech offers learning centers for math, writing, chemistry, computer science, physics, and more. The learning centers are staffed by students who have mastered the material. Both long-term and short-term help is available. Students can maintain weekly appointments, use the learning centers on an “as needed” basis during walk-in hours, or they can take advantage of “team learning” with peers. Various surveys and statistics have shown that Michigan Tech students who use the learning centers achieve better grades.

Michigan Tech remains committed to enrolling and graduating a greater percentage of underrepresented students, as well as improving graduation rates of all students. The Making Our Mark at Michigan Tech website provides testimonials that highlight the challenges and successes of our students and the programs and individuals who have impacted their lives.

Center for Diversity and Inclusion www.diversitycenter.mtu.eduMissionThe Center for Diversity and Inclusion implements educational and outreach experiences that enrich the intellectual, social, and professional growth of students and prospective students. The center focuses on increasing access and retention, promoting diversity, and building awareness of social justice issues.

OutreachThe Center for Diversity and Inclusion sponsors several minority student campus visits including the Michigan College/University Partnership (MICUP) Program and the National Society of Black Engineers Precollege Initiative. The center collaborates with parents, high schools, community colleges, and alumni to identify prospective minority or disadvantaged students and fosters relationships with the University. In addition, staff regularly interact with the University’s precollege program participants and visiting teachers.

Graduate Student ServicesThe Center for Diversity and Inclusion collaborates with Michigan Tech faculty and contacts from other minority-serving institutions to identify and recruit students for the University’s master’s and doctoral programs. Staff help identify candidates for the King-Chavez-Parks Initiative Future Faculty Fellowship Program and the Graduate for Minorities (GEM) Fellowships/Programs, both coordinated by the institutional diversity and graduate program offices.

RetentionThe Center for Diversity and Inclusion provides both professional and personal advising for minority students by

• Mentoring students with regard to their academic and personal needs.

• Introducing students to academic, personal, and professional resources on and off campus.

• Interacting with parents and teachers to determine students’ needs.

• Advising and assisting several student organizations.

• Working closely with student chapters of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), and the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) to support their activities and assist them in meeting their goals.

• Celebrating the graduation of minority students at the annual Hispanic/African American/Native American (HAANA) banquet.

• Working closely with the Excelling the Student Experience of Learning (ExSEL) program staff to foster student success.

ProgrammingThe Center for Diversity and Inclusion develops, maintains, and directs cultural and cross-cultural programs designed to promote awareness and understanding of diversity on campus and in the local community.

ResourcesThe Center for Diversity and Inclusion assists students in identifying sources of financial aid and personal development opportunities, such as undergraduate research, internships, and co-op positions. The center is also a resource for academic departments and individuals, providing statistics and expertise in the areas of cultural diversity and outreach.
