Who we are the US Department of Energy initiated the

program in 1994 by committing $14.7 million

Dr. Samuel P. Massie a reputed African-American scientist champion of the cause of minority education in the US

It comprises 10 minority serving institutions

to produce top-level graduates in environmental disciplines and produce ground breaking environmental research
