Video: UAlbany Center Confronts Workforce Shortage of Science and Tech Grads

November, 2008

The University at Albany established a National Science Foundation-funded center committed to addressing dramatic nationwide workforce shortfalls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The Center for Achievement, Retention and Student Success (CARSS) aims to strengthen the U.S. workforce and research sectors and to provide a model program for the nation's higher education institutions to reverse the problem of low enrollment in STEM majors. The Center is supported by a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation.
