Abstract: The demand for expertise and professionals in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) field is growing rapidly. In addition to this demand for STEM experts, the demographics of the nation are also shifting rapidly and the number of people of color is projected to continue to grow significantly over the next forty years. Although the demographics of the nation are shifting, this shift is not reflected in STEM fields, which has remained white and male dominated. The combination of the rapidly changing national demographics, the lack of diversity in STEM fields, and the increasing demand for STEM professionals, particularly in the healthcare system, has created an unavoidable predicament and requires swift, drastic, and immediate action by educators, policy makers, families, and communities if we are to correct this issue. This report recommends the following: (1) Public policy that provides shared responsibility of funding that target efforts to increase underrepresented student college completion in STEM; and (2) Support the efforts of the NorthStar STEM Alliance, a current initiative that increases the access and success of underrepresented students in STEM by providing financial support to campus sites to focus specifically on the academic achievement of students of color. The efforts of this Alliance can be supported by aligning the first two years of curriculum among all 2- and 4-year institutions that have a NorthStar STEM Alliance program to facilitate the ease of transfer.
