Minority-Serving Institutions are vital to the education and development of a diverse workforce in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and thereby contribute to the Department of Energy’s goals in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Science User Facilities at National Laboratories are positioned to contribute to these goals through partnerships with faculty, students, and trainees at MSIs, to facilitate access to capabilities and expertise available through user programs. This session will provide a forum for exchange on how to support effective partnerships among these institutions, featuring the perspectives of MSIs, user facilities, and successful collaborations.
