Graduate Alliance for Education in
Louisiana
(GAELA)
The Graduate Alliance for
Education in Louisiana (GAELA) is a program for substantially increasing the
number of minorities entering Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM) doctoral degrees and joining the ranks of the professorate. Alliance
partners include: Tulane and Louisiana State University (the two Carnegie
Research I universities in Louisiana and the institutions responsible for 94%
of the minority STEM doctoral degree production in the state between
1994-2001), Xavier University of Louisiana, Dillard University, and Southern
University at Baton Rouge and New Orleans. The project aims to achieve this
objective by building upon existing minority STEM research training programs at
alliance institutions and affecting significant change in the culture of
graduate education at the state's two top research universities.The GAELA
program is supported by the National Science Foundation.
