Diversity

Diversity programs and partnerships provide learning opportunities, mentoring, fellowships and other horizon-building experiences for minority students to explore careers in the Earth System sciences.

HBCU Fellowship

Funded through the U.S. Implementing Organization (USIO) for the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Fellowship provides a mechanism for university and college students to pursue  studies in Earth Systems sciences (or complimentary fields), or to explore a broad range of careers in scientific ocean drilling and large-scale science program management. The Fellowship is open to undergraduate and graduate students majoring in science, engineering, education or communications fields who are also enrolled at an HBCU.

HBCU Educator at Sea

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Educator at Sea is a pilot diversity activity funded through the U.S. Implementing Organization (USIO) for the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) that will enable an HBCU educator from a science or education department to gain first-hand experience of science and life at sea, translate scientific results into useful teaching resources, and introduce IODP as well as careers in scientific ocean drilling to colleagues, teachers and students.

MS PHD'S Program

The Minorities Striving and Pursuing Higher Degrees of Success in the Earth System Sciences (MS PHD'S) Professional Development Program provides minority undergraduate and graduate students with opportunities for increased exposure to, interaction with, and participation in the Earth system science communities. As an institutional partner, Ocean Leadership provides entrée into the international nature of large-scale science programs.

Oceans of Opportunity

Oceans of Opportunity: Enhancing African American Participation in the Marine Sciences was a pilot program that ended in 2008 and built sustained engagement of African American students in the marine geosciences at the elementary, secondary and postsecondary levels in the Savannah, GA area. Led by Savannah State University, Ocean Leadership was a partner in Oceans of Opportunity, along with Georgia State University and Adelphi University.
