The Colorado-Wyoming Alliance for Minority Participation (COWYAMP) is a regional partnership functioning within a larger 听驳谤补苍迟, 听(LSAMP)听program.听This听consortium between sixteen institutions of higher education within听Colorado and Wyoming works听to diversify the nation's STEM workforce by increasing the number of STEM baccalaureate and graduate degrees awarded to populations historically underrepresented in these disciplines. 听
The LSAMP program is named for Ohio Rep.听,听a civil rights champion and powerful voice for political, economic, and social equity in the United States.听The overall goal of the program is to assist universities and colleges increase the number of underrepresented minority听students prepared to succeed in graduate education and contribute to a global and technologically driven workforce.
Underrepresented minority听populations are defined by LSAMP听as "African Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Native Pacific Islanders."
