Initiative
Center for the Advancement of STEM Leadership (CASL)
The Center for the Advancement of STEM Leadership investigates and invests in leadership that broadens participation at our nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
The mission of CASL is to substantially broaden the participation of all undergraduate STEM students at HBCUs. Firmly grounded in our authentic knowledge and experience, this Center makes use of the HBCU institutional context as a guiding framework in determining the correlation between leadership and broadening participation in STEM. Our work represents a collective worldview that recognizes that academic leadership is most effective when it authentically and faithfully presupposes that all students are essential for, and entitled to, human vitality and prosperity.

Focused on proven HBCU leadership approaches associated with positive broadening participation outcomes, this issue of Peer Review features research articles written by several of our CASL fellows.
