Happening This Week

Feb. 3 and 4: Research Opportunities Virtual Fair. Join us on February 3, 2021 and/or February 4, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. to learn about WSU’s research opportunities in STEM related fields.

About Our Program

WSU LSAMP is an NSF-funded program that supports the academic achievements of underrepresented minority students in STEM majors.

Research Opportunities

LSAMP students listening to a LSAMP faculty research mentor share his work using a poster as a visual aid.
Many students have worked with the LSAMP program and its campus partners to get involved in the opportunities for undergraduate STEM research that are available at WSU. Visit the Office of Undergraduate Research’s “Get Started in Research” page to learn more.

Networking

New WSU LSAMP students pose together for a group photo at the outdoor viewing area around the iconic skylight of the Terrel library.
The power of networking is just one of the many benefits provided by our program to WSU students from historically underrepresented groups that are pursuing a STEM degree and career. Our program can connect you with many campus partners who are eager to provide you with the resources and support that every college student deserves.

Community

Students eating together outside at the LSAMP program's welcome back BBQ event.
We regularly plan and host fun events that bring our students together through food, friends, and a focus on the enjoyment of being with other STEM students who share similar goals and are taking on the fulfilling challenges that come with earning a STEM degree.

What We Do

In honor of former congress member Louis Stokes, WSU LSAMP is an NSF-funded program that works side-by-side with students from groups that are historically underrepresented in STEM fields as they pursue their educational and professional goals. The program offers awards for mentored research, hosts networking events, and welcomes experts to present workshops on STEM topics.

WSU is one of five institutions offering baccalaureate degrees in the Pacific Northwest LSAMP community.
