Sažetak
Although quite recently our diversity and inclusion core values were challenged, we should not forget to recognize the importance and value of bringing together students from underrepresented minorities and their different perspectives into our various workplace processes one day. Unfortunately, most of the outreach efforts in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (STEM-C) fields are designed only to help students coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to catch up with other students. What if instead of only making up for the opportunities they had missed, we could provide at least some of them with the cutting-edge education? In this paper, we present how Student Research Development Center’s of Ana G. Mendez University System (AGMUS) in San Juan, Puerto Rico will achieve that the 14 Panel Advanced Modular Incoherent Scatter Radar (AMISR) becomes a base for an educational program for undergraduate and graduate students from Puerto Rico. Having AMISR belong to a Spanish Minority Institution is the first step in the right direction of putting together a scientific team, within AGMUS that will offer competitive research opportunities in Atmospheric Sciences to STEM-C majors from Puerto Rico and Latin America.
