Duke University Center of Exemplary Mentoring

The UCEM works to expand Duke’s capacity to attract, retain, and graduate STEM doctoral students from underrepresented backgrounds.

As part of this groundbreaking effort, I designed and implemented the Early Start Research Immersion Program, Duke-Sloan Graduate Bootcamp, and Duke-Sloan Research Summit. Since the UCEM’s founding in 2017, for underrepresented populations, we experienced a:

  • 36% increase in applications

  • 34.47% in admissions

  • 60.36% in matriculations

Please go here to learn more about the Duke UCEM.

The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation renewed the grant in 2021.
