SynergIE in CST
The UHD SynergIE Program seeks to develop inclusive excellence in STEM through (1)
faculty development leading to new approaches of education that engages modern first-generation
students across all demographics and identities; (2) student & family engagement to
build belongingness to UHD and the scientific enterprise; (3) and collaboration with
UHD colleagues engaged in programs that promote the development of university-wide
inclusive excellence. Inclusive excellence in education celebrates & nurtures human
diversity in being, creativity, and thought; works to dismantle barriers that restrict
student access & success; strives to provide equitable access to educational resources;
and integrates these actions to develop an innovative university for Houston’s emerging
citizenry.
