Central New York LSAMP Alliance

Goals and Objectives

The Central New York LSAMP Alliance (CNYLA) is a coalition of students, faculty, and staff committed to increasing diverse representation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.

The LSAMP program, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), aims to increase the number of STEM degrees awarded to Native American, African American/Black, Hispanic/Latino and Pacific Islander students. The CNYLA community enhances student success through faculty and peer mentorship, paid research experiences, and professional development opportunities.

CNYLA students have access to resources both on their home campus and alliance-wide multiplying opportunities for personal and professional networking and collaboration.
