underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities;first-generation college students;women in fields such as natural science and engineering;gay, lesbian and transgendered students;disabled students;others whose backgrounds and experiences would diversify the professoriate in their academic fields.

The objectives are to better prepare students from diverse backgrounds for academic careers and to have them, at the same time, enrich the educational experiences of others.
