RISE program at NMSU, highlighting success

We at NIF were very fortunate to have hosted the director of the RISE program from NMSU, Elba Serrano this summer attempting to develop coursework and improve outreach to students and faculty at New Mexico State. We believe that the scientific workforce in the coming decade will need to be aware of computational problems, statistics and bioinformatics resources. It is critical that we train this workforce and the RISE program is exactly the right place to start.

We are thrilled that this collaboration has resulted in a set of workshops that will be held in the spring and a set of course modifications for NMSU students to start becoming aware of bioinformatics in the fall.

A news story outlining the success of the program can be found below; a 90% promotion rate of minority and disadvantaged students is truly something to be proud of!
