1 Cindy Martinez American Geological Institute The American Geological Institute Non profit federation of 46 geoscientific and professional associations. American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) American Geophysical Union (AGU) Consortium for Ocean Leadership Liason Main purpose: Provide information services. Strengthen geoscience education. Increase public understanding of the role of the geo in society.

2 Talk Overview Geoscience Demographics and Minority Participation Geoscience Employment Outlook Why should we care about diversity? Challenges to engaging minorities in the ocean Attitudes toward Geo and Ocean Sciences Careers Strategies for engaging underrepresented students Recommendations AGI s approach Student Demographics Geo degree production has been steady over the past 10 years, but enrollments are on the rise. Participation of women in geoscience degree programs is approaching parity Participation by underrepresented minority (African Americans, Hispanic/Latino and Native American) students is LOW.

11 Challenges to engaging students in STEM fields? K 12 Preparedness Academic and financial support Family influence Cultural sensitivities Completion rates What challenges are unique to the geo and ocean that makes us the bottom of the barrel? Challenges to engaging students in Geo/Ocean Sciences? Image Career and opportunity awareness Career Mobility Lack of college programs where students live, and at Minority Serving Institutions Isolation

12 Geo: An Image Problem? Caucasian (often mature men) Hard Hats and safety suits Dirty Unfamiliar setting Makes money? Geo: An Image Problem? Diverse peers Professional Clean Familiar, located in my town Helps my family Makes money

13 How do you get there? College Medical School Residency? Strategies to increase diversity Tackle our image problem Promote clear career paths Address concerns of parents and families Support MSI s Provide academic and social support

14 AGI s programs Understand the problem Workforce Data Analysis Academic and social support: Minority Participation Program scholarships Career Awareness and family support Student Engagement Campaigns Communication and dissemination Marketing the geo Campaign to raise awareness of the geo Careers brochure sent to high scorers on the SAT
