Zusammenfassung:Hispanic‐Serving Institutions (HSIs) play a key role in diversifying the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics workforce. This chapter provides an overview of a funded National Science Foundation (NSF) grant program that incorporates learning and work in an effort to address racial/ethnic underrepresentation in the field of geosciences. Observations also demonstrate the importance of engaging student affairs with academic affairs in such a program to address the diverse needs of students at HSIs.
