The Cal State LA Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) program, in partnership with the Penn State MRSEC Center for Nanoscale Science, enhances the research and education of undergraduate and masters students in materials science and engineering at Cal State LA. It aims to enable, build, and grow partnerships between minority-serving institutions and DMR-supported centers and/or facilities to increase recruitment, retention and degree attainment by members of groups most underrepresented in materials research. This presentation will provide background on the program, highlight current collaborations, and articulate mechanisms for more PSU faculty to get involved.
