Increasing Diversity Minority recruitment challenge in physics,pursued through link with Center for IntegratedSpace Weather Modeling (CISM) Partner with Prof. Ramon Lopez, UT ArlingtonProf. Amy Weinberger of Alabama A&M CISM runs annual Space Weather Weekend toattract students from underrepresented groups toour grad programs, resulted in CISM PhDs 30% CISM grad students (AAMU, UC Berkeley,BU, Dartmouth, Rice, U Colorado, U MD, UTArlington) from underrepresented minorities.7
Space Weather Weekend: Case Study inRecruiting Diverse Student Population A space weather weekend for students fromminority serving institutions or studentsattending either SACNAS or NSHP/NSBPmeetings who are consideringgraduate school is held annually in April (05-09). AAMU hosts the event and arranges locallogistics.UT Arlington arranges stipend and travel. Scientists and staff from CISM institutionsmake presentations and run labs.Space Weather Weekend Objectives Use the excitement of space weather torecruit students from Minority-ServingInstitutions to apply to CISM schools Expose participants to a new field of sciencein an innovative teaching environment. Establish personal connection withparticipants, typically 12 students8

Backup SlidesNew MS program in Space Science AAMUCISM leveraged 2 new hires inSpace Sciences at AAMU,1 directly with .5 FTE support1 indirectly with .5 FTE NASA grantFirst Graduates From New AAMU Space Physics Program Alabama A&M University (AAMU) is a CISM member institution that hasrecently added a new M.S. concentration in space science with NSF CISMand NASA support. Ms. Fana Mulu (left) and Ms. Samaiyah Farid (right)are the first physics graduate students to complete the new space physicsconcentration. They both received their Bachelor's degrees from AAMU in2004; Samaiyah Farid now PhD student in solar physics at UNHJames Stith (American Institute of Physics), member CISM Advisory Council: ‘Most PhDs awarded atmainstream universities to students from those universities, applies to students fromunderrepresented minorities as well.’ Above is example of lateral recruiting.11
