Summer Training for Excellence in Education Research
Summer 2023

The Summer Training for Excellence in Education Research (STEER) program has been a successful staple of the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies (GSE&IS) at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). Through participation in the program, Historically Black College and University (HBCU) students and faculty, and GSE&IS faculty share in a research apprenticeship experience that has contributed to STEER students’ admittance to some of our nation’s finest graduate programs including the UC system. In the proposed effort, our aims are to continue to:

​

• Develop relationships between the UCs and HBCUs

• Prepare students for UC graduate application

• Prepare and mentor a cohort of    tremendously talented students to conduct educational research in competitive UC programs and beyond.

GSE&IS is well-positioned to serve in this role.
