Ph.D. in Civil & Environmental Engineering, May 2006: Sharon Smith-Tembe
When I first began at UI it took some time getting adjusted to being one of very few American minority graduate students in the College of Engineering and the only one in my department. Since the implementation of the AGEP and Ethnic Inclusion Effort, I had seen a dramatic increase in the number of minority graduate students in the college. AGEP and Ethnic Inclusion Effort are committed to creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for minority graduate students and giving them the tools and support they need to be successful.
