Progress 06/01/23 to 05/31/24
Outputs
Target Audience: The LEADING Hispanics Program is designed to target Hispanic high school (9-12th grade) and college (BS, MS and PhD level) students pursuing FANH degrees and emphasizing those who are financially disadvantaged and/or first-generation college. Additionally, high school teachers in STEM or agriculture from impoverished areas surrounding the four HSIs are also targeted. During the first year of our program, a total of 150 high school students, 67 college students (49 BS, 14 MS and 4 PhD; 73% female, 27% male; 91% Hispanic, 9% Non-Hispanic), and 13 high school teachers were served. Data presented in this report pertains to their activities between June 1, 2023 and May 31, 2024. Changes/Problems:Communications Embargo. With funding made available June 1, 2023 but a communication embargo in place until late June, advertisement of the program was initially delayed. Thus, the program was not ready for participants until Fall 2023, after adequate time for recruiting, with the majority of the first cohort being onboarded August through October 2023. This delay in onboarding of the first cohort delayed several proposed activities and made others difficult to accomplish. However, only one proposed activity (Club Lingüistico) was not accomplished in Year 1. Other activities were delayed, but accomplished at a later date than originally proposed. Educational tour. Our educational tour (which evolved into the NextGen Summit) did not involve a tour of working laboratories (exclusive of the groups who visited the Museum of Natural History) which was the original vision of the tour. Therefore, in Year 2, we intend to revise the educational tour to be in another location or involve BARC, as possible. In Year 2, no changes to the proposed activities are anticipated as the majority of cohort 2 has already been interviewed and selected to begin the program in Fall 2024. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Research. All LEADING Hispanics college studentswere involved in scientific research. Research enhances critical thinking, communication, problem-solving and intellectual independence; all of which are crucial for success in the federal workforce. In total, 50 faculty research mentors with diverse expertise from each collaborating HSI provided high-impact, meaningful mentorship to students. Faculty mentorship was facilitated through regular one-on-one meetings during the students' research for provision of academic and psychosocial support. Professional Meetings. Research projects lead to professional meeting attendance and provide opportunities for personal growth, networking, and career planning. Within the first year of the program, 91.0% of LEADING Hispanics college students attended an average of 1.38 professional meetings. Of these students, 78.7% were responsible for giving 54 poster presentations and 10 oral presentations. One TAMUK student stated "Presenting my findings at the TAMUK symposium and The Wildlife Society meeting in Houston, Texas, was both exhilarating and rewarding, as it allowed me to share my work with a wider audience and receive valuable feedback from experts in the field." Professional meeting attendees commonly include students and faculty from other institutions and USDA employees; thus, providing opportunities for students to develop a professional network that will advance their career toward federal employment. Professional Development Seminars. Professional development seminars equip students with skills not taught in the classroom by emphasizing soft skills while teaching technical skills. During Year 1 of the LEADING Hispanics Program, three Professional Development Seminars were held via distance education technology and/or in-person to facilitate simultaneous participation of students across the four HSIs. USDA Forest Service Opportunities, Nov. 30, 2023 via Zoom. This professional development opportunity included eight USDA Forest Service employee speakers and reached 55 LEADING Hispanics college student participants. The purpose of this seminar was to familiarize students with the vast and diverse internship and career opportunities within Forest Service. USA Jobs Resume Writing Seminar, Jan. 23, 2024, via Zoom. This professional development opportunity was hosted by Dr. Ruby De La Garza, USDA Liaison with OPPE, and reached 46 LEADING Hispanics college student participants. The purpose of this seminar was to familiarize students with resume requirements and format required by USA Jobs. It is critical for students to understand this process as they prepare for federal employment. "Through this program many resources were available such as resume building for USA jobs which is a very [sic] important when apply for government jobs to have that format structure," said a student from NMSU." True Colors Professional Development Seminar, Feb. 13, 2024, in-person. This professional development opportunity hosted by Dr. Stephen Chumbley, Associate Professor at TAMUK, reached 56 LEADING Hispanics college student participants. The purpose of this seminar was to help students determine their personality type to identify strengths and weaknesses that may help identify career paths. Additional Individual Workshops. A total of 14 additional workshops were attended by LEADING Hispanics college students in the first year of the program. Symposium and Career Fair. The first annual LEADING Hispanics Symposium and Career Fair was held at TAMUK February 12-13, 2024. This event was attended by 41 high school students, 4 high school teachers, 65 college students, 11 university faculty, and 25 USDA employees. The Symposium showcased student research and accomplishments (via poster and oral presentations), fostered interaction between the four collaborating HSIs, USDA agencies, and high school students and teachers. The Career Fair showcased individual USDA agencies (AMS, APHIS, ARS, Forest Service, FSA, FSIS, NASS, NRCS, and the office of Human Resource Management) and provided insight for students to determine their interest regarding summer internship placement. To further enhance inter-institutional collaboration and networking, LEADING Hispanics college students and faculty visited local sites including the TAMUK greenhouse, TAMUK serpentarium, and historical King Ranch during day 2 of the event. Educational Tour. In Year 1 of the LEADING Hispanics Program, 53 college students, 6 faculty, and 4 program managers from the four HSIs participated in a 3-day educational tour in Washington D.C. (NextGen Student Summit - a collaboration between the LEADING Hispanics Program and USDA NIFA NextGen) to foster inter-institutional collaboration in an immersive experience emphasizing career awareness. Regarding the Educational Tour, one TAMUK student stated "Our group trip to Washington D.C. offered a unique perspective on the role of the USDA in shaping national agricultural and environmental policies. Immersing myself in the workings of federal agencies and understanding their impact on agriculture and wildlife conservation further fueled my passion for contributing to meaningful change in the field." Youth Program. The LEADING Hispanics Youth Program targeted local high school students to participate in a free one-day workshop. Across the four HSIs, 150 high school students were reached in Year 1 of the program. The Youth Program included a tour of university laboratories, agriculture experiment stations and other facilities, and a small hands-on scientific experiment. This program increased high school students' knowledge and competencies in FANH, promoted awareness of FANH degrees and USDA careers and developed a pipeline for future undergraduate LEADING Hispanics scholars. Community Program. The LEADING Hispanics Community Program targeted local high school STEM and agriculture teachers to participate in a free, one-day FANH workshop. Across the four HSIs, 12 high school teachers were reached in Year 1 of the program. The Community Program was conducted similarly to the Youth Program, but equipped the teachers with a complete lesson plan to promote FANH and USDA within their classrooms and/or science kits to encourage STEM exploration within the classroom. This program serves as an indirect method for recruiting high school students into the Youth Program and the undergraduate scholarship program, thus further developing the student pipeline into USDA careers. Summer Internships. A foundational component of LEADING Hispanics is the USDA internship which will provide students with an experiential learning platform to gain technical skills, exposure to career prospects and mentors within federal agencies, and hone other marketable skills. Although summer internships were not completed in Year 1 of the LEADING Hispanics Program, it is important to note that internship placement was accomplished for the first cohort of students. Across the four HSIs, 64 college students (50 undergraduate, 12 MS, and 2 PhD) have been placed into summer internships for summer 2024. Of the 64 participants, 62 were placed into federal positions and 2 into non-federal positions. Eight federal agencies (AMS, APHIS, ARS, ERS, Forest Service, NRCS, Climate Hub, and Department of Energy) are included in placements with 53 federal employees hosting our participants as mentors. "Being part of the LEADING Hispanics program has been an incredible opportunity for my professional growth. The experience I've gained from attending the conferences, the USDA Career Fair, and participatingin a summer internship has greatly enhancedmy skills and broadened my career opportunities." said one TXST student. A TAMUK student stated "Initially, I was looking for a chance to pay for my college, but the LEADING Hispanics program has given me a different perspective on career choices, made new friends, and allowed me to meet people across this great country." How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Website. The LEADING Hispanics website went live in February 2024. Its purpose is to enhance and promote recruiting efforts by showcasing participants' accomplishments. Social Media. The LEADING Hispanics program maintains active social media accounts (Instagram and X) which went live in July 2023 to begin recruiting efforts. This method of dissemination engages and reaches the technology-savvy generation that the program is recruiting (476 Instagram followers and 16 X followers). Social media accounts document program progress (108 Instagram posts and 20 Tweets) while promoting and further enhancing recruiting efforts. The LEADING Hispanics Instagram averages 630 "accounts reached" and 180 "accounts engaged" per month. Importantly, these social media accounts are managed by Marketing & Communications students involved in the LEADING Hispanics program, providing them with practical professional experiences for their future careers. Press releases and news articles. In Year 1 of the program, 19 press/news releases in both English and Spanish were published highlighting the LEADING Hispanics Program or its activities. Research Presentations. In Year 1 of the program, 48 college student participants gave 54 poster and 10 oral presentations at professional meetings to disseminate research results. Other Presentations. Upon funding, on June 29, 2023, the TAMUK Project Director presented the vision and objectives of the LEADING Hispanics Program during a visit with Representatives of the Office of Congressman Vicente Gonzalez and the TAMUK Strategic Executive Leadership Team. Further, in January 2024, the NMSU Project Director presented the vision and progress of the LEADING Hispanics Program during a visit with Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Xochitl Torres Small. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?The LEADING Hispanics program is designed to repeat and build upon itself over the five-year period. The college student cohort for Year 2 has been interviewed and selected and these students will be involved in research, professional meetings, professional development seminars, the Symposium and Career Fair, educational tour, and summer internships, as described above for Year 1. The Youth and Community programs will also be hosted across the HSIs. In Year 2, external evaluation will continue to gather quantifiable and other outcomes that allow tracking of progress towards objectives, including Objective 1. Club Lingüistico will also be implemented (see "Changes/Problems") for the first time in Year 2.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Objective 1: LEADING Hispanics will improve retention rate (20%), time-to-degree (0.5 years), graduation rate (20%) and USDA career placement (25%) of Hispanic students by increasing scientific, technical and soft skills through experiential learning and research. Currently, progress toward Objective 1 cannot be quantified. Baseline data for each of the four HSIs is being obtained for reporting in subsequent years. Data for this objective will become available in future years as students from the first cohort progress through their academic programs and enter the workforce. Although not yet able to quantify this objective, the experiences and opportunities provided to our students has had significant impact which is evident by their testimonials of the program. One TAMUK student stated "My participation in the LEADING Hispanics Program was a profoundly enriching experience that significantly shaped my academic and professional journey." Another TAMUK student stated "I have a clearer view of my career goals because of this program, and I am eternally grateful for how it has shaped me as a person." Objective 2: LEADING Hispanics will create a pipeline for Hispanic students (n=800 high school, 295 B.S., 100 M.S., and 42 Ph.D.) to progress from high school through undergraduate and graduate degree programs, and to federal employment in the FANH workforce. Year 1 participants gained valuable knowledge and experiences that initiated the pipeline for the LEADING Hispanics Program.?Year 1 initiated the pipeline for the LEADING Hispanics Program. Within the first year of the program, 150 high school, 49 BS, 14 MS and 4 PhD participants were served. All participants (100%) were exposed to undergraduate and graduate degree programs (LEADING Hispanics Symposium, Youth Program, Community Program), internship opportunities (LEADING Hispanics Career Fair and Professional Development Seminars) and career options (LEADING Hispanics Career Fair, Educational Tour, and Professional Development Seminars) available in the FANH workforce and within federal agencies.One undergraduate student from TXST said "Being a member of LEADING Hispanics was the highlight if [sic] my college career. LEADING Hispanics was a community that allowed me to be a part of something larger than myself challenging me, teaching me, and empowering me." This particular student has decided to pursue graduate school and has been accepted into the MS program at TXST for Fall 2024 and is therefore matriculating through our pipeline. Objective 3: LEADING Hispanics will establish and foster peer-peer, teacher-student, faculty-student, and federal employee-student mentoring relationships to enhance Hispanic student (n=295 B.S., 100 M.S., and 42 Ph.D.) awareness, understanding, and preparation for internship and career opportunities at USDA agencies. In Year 1, upon participant selection, 49 BS, 14 MS, and 4 PhD students were placed into formal mentoring relationships with Faculty Research Mentors. Faculty Research Mentor relationships were developed and enhanced through regular participant-faculty meetings to discuss research progress, professional development opportunities and career goals.The USDA Career Fair, Professional Development Seminars, and the Educational Tour provided initial contact and helped to form relationships between LEADING Hispanics participants and USDA employees. This short-term contact between the students and USDA employees enhanced the students' professional network and led to potential for building future long-term mentorship. Federal employee-student mentorship will be enhanced and formalized in summer 2024 as 53 students have been placed into USDA internships. Additionally, severalUSDA sites are hosting students from various institutions, which will further enhance peer-peer relationships and mentoring. Although not quantified, peer-peer relationships were established through multiple intra- and inter-institutional interactions between students through the Symposium, Career Fair, Professional Development Seminars and Educational Tour. The Youth and Community Programs provide an environment for teacher-student mentorship while their attendance at the Symposium and Career Fair allows for professional networking with HSI faculty and USDA employees.Participants of the program value the networking and mentoring aspects of the program as they realize their importance. According to an undergraduate participant from TXST "The LEADING Hispanics program was an incredibly immersive experience that allowed me to better understand various USDA agencies,develop my research skills, and network with like-minded individuals and students supporting Hispanics in government careers. Navigating the different parts of this program was no easy task but doing so alongside my mentors and fellow scholars facilitated this." One student from NMSU stated "After graduate school I will utilize the USDA Connections I have made to try and obtain a permanent wildlife biologist position." The connections these participants are making have the potential to alter their futures, helping them successfully gain employment with USDA. Objective 4: LEADING Hispanics will develop cooperative links and sustainable partnerships between FANH programs at four Hispanic Serving Institutions [HSIs; Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK), University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (UPRM), New Mexico State University (NMSU), and Texas State University (TXST)], local high schools (n≥20), and USDA agencies (n≥5) to promote FANH degree and career pursuit to Hispanic high school students (n=800) and teachers (n=800) and Hispanic college students (n=437). Development of cooperative links and sustainable partnerships between FANH programs at the four HSIs was accomplished through multiple efforts. Professional Development Seminars were attended via Zoom by all four HSIs with a total of 65 college student participants, 4 faculty, and 10 USDA employee speakers and hosts. The Symposium and Career Fair was attended in-person by all four HSIs with a total of 65 college student participants, 11 faculty, and 25 USDA employees, in addition to 41 high school students and 4 high school teachers. The Educational Tour (NextGen Student Summit) was attended in-person by all four HSIs with a total of 53 college student participants, 6 faculty, 4 program managers and numerous USDA speakers and hosts. These events were designed to bring faculty and students from the four HSIs together to enhance collaboration and networking while promoting FANH degrees and federal agency employment. To effectively develop and implement program activities, the Project Director team (Mast, Jimenez, Löest, and Drewery) met, via Zoom, nine times throughout Year 1 for an average 1 hour 20 minutes each (total = 12 hours during Year 1). As Program Managers were hired, they joined the PD meetings as well. This team approach to directing the program has been instrumental in the success of the LEADING Hispanics Program. Objective 5: LEADING Hispanics will be a published (n≥10 publications, presentations, abstracts, social media, website), transferrable educational model for other higher education institutions to adopt or adapt. In Year 1, participants in the LEADING Hispanics Program presented 54 research posters and 10 oral presentations. The LEADING Hispanics website (https://www.tamuk.edu/agriculture/leading-hispanics/#:~:text=The%20overarching%20goal%20of%20LEADING,employment%20in%20the%20federal%20sector.) was published in February 2024. Concerning social media, the LEADING Hispanics Instagram (@leadinghispanics) has published 108 posts while LEADING Hispanics X has published 20 tweets. In Year 2, a LEADING Hispanics Facebook page will be developed and maintained.
