This HSI Resource Hub will bring together STEM faculty across the hundreds of current and emerging HSIs in the United States. The project will create a community of STEM scholars who not only adopt, but also advance/cultivate their culturally responsive and relevant pedagogy. The Hub will synthesize and regularly update information on what works in HSI contexts to minimize trial and error approaches to education reforms and to nurture an ongoing community of practice.
