Non Technical Summary
To overcome historic barriers related to low retention and graduation rates of Hispanic students in Agriculture and STEM fields, EverGreen's goal is to increase the number of Hispanic students with advanced technical degrees at the food-water-energy intersection. To meet this goal, we will train a diverse future workforce with the leadership and cross-disciplinary skills in science, technology and innovation to solve today's complex agricultural problems - specifically those due to a changing climate, widespread food insecurity, and the lack of available water. Hispanic students will be recruited from Palo Alto College and San Antonio College to seamlessly transition into and complete degrees at Texas State University. Forty-four Hispanic students will receive personalized support through mentorships, tutoring, and professional development, as well as financial assistance through scholarships and paid internships. Through the collective attainment of 16 associate, 16 bachelor, and 12 master of science degrees, students will be prepared to enter positions in well-paid, technical jobs in agricultural-related fields. Other EverGreen products will include the development of new laboratory facilities and curricula that will empower students to understand and build soil-free, water saving, renewable energy, and smart technology-based food systems that will be analyzed using financial modeling techniques. Hundreds of other students will benefit indirectly through a new multi-disciplinary research and teaching lab, new course modules, development of an Agriculture-STEM education pipeline, and the widespread dissemination of educational, research and experientially-based outcomes and best practices relevant to training the diverse workforce needed to meet the food-water-energy challenges of the future.

To meet this goal, we will train a diverse future workforce with the leadership and cross-disciplinary skills in science, technology and innovation to solve today's complex agricultural problems - specifically those due to a changing climate, widespread food insecurity, and the lack of available water through the following objectives:Objective 1: Recruit and support underrepresented Hispanic students in Agriculture and relevant STEM programs by:Providing hands-on workshops annually to 30 K-12 students and their teachers at the EverGreen lab and Eco Centro facility.Providing 44 scholarship to:16 Associate degree students16 undergraduate students12 graduate studentsObjective 2: Enhance the quality of postsecondary instruction for students with degrees in STEM-Agriculture disciplines by:Develoing a cross-disciplinary "EverGreen" lab including hydroponic, aeroponic, water saving, renewable energy, and smart technology-componentsDeveloping 4 course modules for four courses on sustainabilityOfferinh 12 research theses/projects for student participants at all levels (listed in Appendix A of the proposal narrative).Objective 3: Provide leadership and professional development opportunities and access to career pathways through the following:44 paid summer internships at a USDA agency or an approved siteOne mentorship/job shadowing visit per participant per year (total 44)One full-day leadership and professional development seminar per yearOne paid conference attendance for the scholarsObjective 4: Provide academic development for underrepresented Hispanic students through one-one tutoring with peer tutors and mentoring with the team of faculty project directors and key personnel.

Project Methods
MethodsThe methods employed to achieve EverGreen's overarching goal to increase retention and graduation rates of Hispanic students in Agriculture and STEM fields, specifically with advanced technical degrees at the food-water-energy intersection, include:developing culturally relevant and real-world based course modulesemploying peer one-on-one tutoringdeveloping career pathways through paid internships and conference attendance, mentoring, and annual leadership and professional development seminarsengaging students in innovative undergraduate and graduate reserach projects that will empower students to understand and build soil-free, water saving, renewable energy, and smart technology-based food systems that will be analyzed using financial modeling techniquesproviding students with financial assistance (e.g. scholarships)The methods employed for the undergraduate and graduate reearch projects that will be developed as a part of the larger EverGreen project is quantitative design, which includes the basicprocedure of:Make your observations about an unknown phenomenon or new.Hypothesize an explanation for the observation.Formulate a plan to test the hypothesis.Collect and process your data. If the prediction is correct, then verify the finding. If false, set new hypothesis.EffortsThe efforts that will be used to cause a change in knowledge, actions, and conditions of the Hispanic students in STEM and Agriculture fields include:Leadership and professional development seminars: Each year, project directors will organize and conduct a full-day leadership and professional development seminar for EverGreen student participants that includes preparation of a resume, job and internship search, LinkedIn, and Research Gate profiles. Additionally, a dedicated Texas State website and its corresponding App including all the training materials will be available to students.Conferences: Each EverGreen supported student will be financially supported to travel and attend a conference at which s/he will present her/his research and interaction with the EverGreen laboratory projectFinancial assistance through 44 scholarshipsPaid Internships: Upon completion of a 200-hour internship in a USDA agency or approved site, each student will receive a $2000 stipend.Mentorship: Each student will be assigned one mentor per year (from academia, research, or a professional field). The mentor will meet with the student at least once, preferably as a job shadowing opportunity for a whole day. Building on the USDA HSI Education Program-funded, "Boots to Roots" project, at Texas State, EverGreen will incorporate the military veteran students from the "Boots to Roots" program to serve as peer mentors to EverGreen students.Tutoring: Undergraduate students will be hired to provide one-on-one peer tutoring services to students supported by EverGreenTeaching: Project Directors will develop 4 modules for four courses (Agronomic crops, General Horticulture, Fruit and Vegetable Production, and Greenhouse Management) to be taught by CoPDsDevelopment of new interactive EverGreen lab: Utilizing a variety of state of the art renewable resource and energy technologies, this labe will be used for collaborative research on soil-free farming, course supplement and hands-on activities, as well as outreach and recruitment efforts.K-12 Workshops:Each year project directors will conduct a hands-on workshop to 30 K-12 students and their teachers at the EverGreen laboratory and Eco Centro.Regarding student research projects, each project will typically include a theoretical basis, literature review, experimental and empirical study and data collection, and statistical data analysis. Simulation and modeling research will be implemented,when applicable.Variety of formal and informal instruction in the form of classroom instruction and hands-on laboratory instruction are provided in the form of academic coursework, project, and thesis as well as outreach activities.EvaluationTo assess student recruitment, student performance, retention of students, and successful completion of degrees, the following are the evaluation studies planned and data to be collected:number of students contacted (including K-12)number of students enrolled as a result of recruitment effortsnumber of underrepresented/Hispanic students retained and in the current academic yearacademic standing of EverGreen supported studentsnumber of underrepresented/Hispanic students graduated with degrees in STEM and Agriculturenumber of tutoring hours with EverGreen studentsnumber of advisor hours with EverGreen studentsnumber of mentorship hours with EverGreen studentsnumber of student presenters (including poster session) and attendees at conferencesnumber of students using the new EverGreen facility and curriculastudent evaluation of leadership, professional development, and entrepreneurship seminars and activitiesstudent interest and engagement inEverGreen research projectsstudent understanding of food-water-energy fundamentals and problem solving skills related to climate change, food insecurity, and water availability/droughtstudent evaluations of their internshipsinternship employer engagement and feedback regarding performance of EverGreen studentsAdditional evaluation metrics will include number of education and scientific publications (including and besides peer-reviewed journal articles), presentations, and workshops, and the number of new cooperatie partnerships developed.To evaluate the student research component of EverGreen, the following are the evalution studies planned: After preliminary step of infrastructure development and lab capacity building efforts, Response Surface Methodology and Design of Experiments methods will be used to make conclusive evaluation from the research study.
