The National Consortium for Graduate Degrees for Minorities in Engineering and Science (GEM) is a partnership between corporations, government laboratories, research institutions and universities that enables underrepresented students to pursue graduate education in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. Since its founding in 1976, GEM has helped over 4,000 African American, Native American, and Hispanic Americans attend graduate school. With leadership from Graduate Dean’s Faculty Fellow for Diversity and Inclusion Dawit Negussey, Syracuse University has accelerated its support for the GEM program in the past three years, recruiting 12 GEM Fellows for master’s and Ph.D. degree programs since 2018. Five GEM Fellows are expected to enter graduate school in fall 2021.
