Utilizing Pathway Programs Along Your Academic Journey
Helping others achieve academic success is Dr. Rihana Mason’s passion and raising the awareness of academic pathways for underrepresented minorities is her mission. The co-founder of Academic Pipeline Programs and co-author of the newly published Academic Pipeline Programs: Diversifying Pathways from the Bachelor’s to the Professoriate has established a clearinghouse of resources for students and faculty. These resources also provide support for institutions to successfully implement pipeline programs.
While expanding the use of pipeline programs is the primary goal, Dr. Mason masterfully inspires students to seek out and speak out to gain the support they need and respect they deserve to succeed in any setting along their career journey. Take this opportunity to learn about pipeline programs that are clearing the path towards academic success for URM students and how you can participate and push for progress throughout your own journey.
