This document discusses engaging more minority serving institutions (MSIs) in the National Research Platform (NRP). It provides data showing that MSIs serve a disproportionate number of underrepresented minority students and are important producers of STEM graduates from these groups. The NRP can help broaden participation in STEAM fields by providing MSIs access to advanced cyberinfrastructure resources, new learning modalities, and opportunities for collaborative research between MSIs and other institutions. Regional networks also have a role to play in helping MSIs overcome barriers and attracting them to collaborative grants. The goal is to tear down walls between research and teaching and reinvent the university experience for more inclusive learning and innovation.

Factors & Strategies that impact online CC student persistence,Alexandra M. Pickett
SLN Campus Research Engagement Program http://wiki.sln.suny.edu/display/SLNED/Current+Research+Projects
Study of Online Student Persistence in SUNY
Research proposal problem statement:
SUNY's DOODLE group has conducted a multi-year study of student persistence, attrition, and success with online courses. Overall, the rates of attrition are similar among the DOODLE institutions as are success rates which is interesting in itself given the institutions are often quite different in size, number of courses offered online, and in demographic make-up. SUNY and its DE faculty often consider the attrition rate outcomes to be high, and indeed, compared to research such as the National Community College Benchmark study, SUNY's rates are high - typically 5% or greater in similar categories of measurement (higher attrition = not a favorable outcome). In other words, SUNY looks normative compared 'to itself' and appears as an underperformer when compared to aggregate institutions participating in the NCCB study. (DOODLE has less than 20 institutions participating in its persistence study; NCCB has over 200.) While the reasons for such a gap may be simple, such as survey criteria being different, explaining the phenomenon is important as SUNY faculty look at 'national' outcomes and deduce (perhaps quite incorrectly) that SUNY (and their own SUNY college) are doing a bad job of both attracting and keeping students in online courses toward successful outcomes.
* The affected population are SUNY students enrolled in online and blended courses.
* The target 'population' are SUNY colleges and university centers who are members of Directors of Online and Distance Learning (DOODLE) and also any SUNY institutions that become members of DOODLE. (All offer fully online and/or blended modalities of mediated teaching and learning at course and/or program levels to enrolled students, typically using a commercial or open-source CMS/LMS platform)
Dr. Freeman A. Hrabowski, III, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), offers practical and scalable solutions to that problem in a new policy paper released by The McGraw-Hill Research Foundation. In the paper, Institutional Change in Higher Education: Innovation and Collaboration, Hrabowski discusses how his institution has addressed the shortage of STEM graduates, particularly among groups that have been underrepresented in these fields, including minorities, women, and students from low-income backgrounds. UMBC has been recognized widely as a leader in higher education innovation. For three years in a row, the U.S. News and World Report America’s Best Colleges Guide has ranked the university number one among “Up-and-Coming” national universities.
BARRIERS FOR FEMALES TO PURSUE STEM CAREERS AND STUDIES AT HIGHER EDUCATION I...IJCSES Journal
Background and context: Even when the modern world is transitioning quickly into the digital age, the
gender gap continues to be more acute. Social scientists note the low number of women in Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Maths (STEM) as a scientific, creative, economic, and innovative potential
loss. The importance of women’s participation in technical sciences and technical production is also
recognized as a factor for stable social development. Objective and method: A scoping review has been
conducted to study females’ reasonings and society-based explanations for females to choose STEM
studies at the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) level. The goal is to understand the reasons for the low
number of females in STEM careers related to education in STEM and to reveal the underlying
phenomenon. Results: The gender attitudes and stereotypes inherent in boy and girl children’s spare time
and school life narrow the children's possibilities from what specific education and career direction they
can choose. But only a few genetics and physical differences could postulate and explain this status quo.
Humans have formed a particular social framework; in the process, we have socialized childhood and
education. When choosing a future specialization, the society in which the child grew up, the family that
brought him up, and what traditions they invested in are much more important than his gender.
Implications: Based on our results, we summarise the scattered knowledge base and utilize the analyzed
summary for recommendations to further the development of HEI programs to make them more fitting for
both genders and help reduce the gender gap. The universities should cover the achievements of females,
more often in their media channels, related to the previously mentioned interest in STEM, based on the
presence of a role model. When choosing a university, girls can see a real example and be inspired to study
STEM majors

Student’s Name

Date
The Morrill Land-Grant Acts had the most significant positive impact on students' access to higher education. This is because this act made it possible for the new states in the west to put up colleges for their students. The institutions that were established gave a chance to a lot of farmers and other working-class people who could not previously access higher education. Since the land was the most readily available resource, it was given for these states to establish colleges. According to Christy (2017), even though some individuals misused the earnings from those lands, the Morrill land-grant Act gave the foundation of a national system of state colleges and universities. Finances from the lands even helped existing institutions, helped build new institutions, and other states were able to charter new schools.
Grutter v. Bollinger & Gratz v. Bollinger had the most influence in shaping how higher education institutions recruit and retain students from diverse backgrounds. This is because this ruling recognizes the benefits of diversity in education and validates any reasonable means which can be used to achieve that diversity. The verdict is even supported by a lot of studies which show that student body diversity promotes learning outcomes, and 'better prepares students for an increasingly diverse workforce and society…'" (The Civil Rights Project, 2010). Grutter vs. Bollinger laid a foundation for the diversity we see today in universities and colleges. Garces (2012) asserts that in our current world, which is diverse, access to higher education is what determines our legitimacy and strength. This all has been made possible by the Grutter v. Bollinger & Gratz v. Bollinger. The ruling helped break down stereotypes and for students to understand others from different races.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Smart TV Buyer Insights Survey 2024 by 91mobiles.pdf91mobiles
91mobiles recently conducted a Smart TV Buyer Insights Survey in which we asked over 3,000 respondents about the TV they own, aspects they look at on a new TV, and their TV buying preferences.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

1. We seek innovative, significant programs to increase enrollment and
success of diverse URM in STEM, for example.
• Digital professions [cybersecurity, additive manufacturing,
architecture, data science evolving.
• CYBER ENABLED SCIENCE Growth [Domain science merged with
Market Science]
2. HE policies, pedagogies, climates, and initiatives must
• effectively promote racial/ ethnic minority students’ educational
attainment in STEM.
3. MSIs have shown efficacy in facilitating the persistence of URM
students in STEM.
• Collectively responsible for producing nearly one-third of the
nation’s minority STEM graduates.
Note: Palmer et al, SUNY Binghamton, published the compendia: Fostering Success of
Ethnic and Racial Minorities in STEM - share salient institutional characteristics,
unique aspects of climate, pedagogy, and programmatic initiatives at MSIs that are
instrumental in enhancing the success of URMs in STEM.
19. Are there opportunities for greater collaboration between regional networks and these institutions?
Yes,
NSF MS-CC. 19
Lessons learned from the
Missing Millions report
Access to resources
/opportunities is essential, but
without the ability to use/
execute the resources/
opportunities, the impact will be
minimal.
Underrepresented
communities/ institutions
require some effort and
focus on preparatory
training /support to
effectively use these
resources and opportunities
Long-term participation/ engagement with these resources
and opportunities require vibrant communities
• A working community of peers
• A community for a sense of “belonging” and engagement
• A vibrant community for growth and sustainability
20. Roles for regional networks to help promote and provide more shared services to HBCUs and MSIs? 20
Assisting in Equalizing
the Playing Field-
Reach out, Educate
them
Assist in overcoming
barriers such as funding:
• training for IT professionals to supp
• better network infrastructure (HSI)
• [HSIs, TCUs, HBCUs]
NEEDS: Staff Support and
Institutional Support
[[HSIs, TCUs, HBCUs]
Lack of institutional staff,
technology/ resources to
fulfill this important
function (TCU)
Failure of senior
administration and some
faculty to understand the
importance of having an
advanced
cyberinfrastructure (HSIs]
Remote areas where
students get no Internet
access. (TCU)
Faculty with a background
in using big data [lack of
curriculum at 2-year level
(TCU)
People on campus who
have vision for using data
beyond accreditation
compliance(HSI)
21. Strategies regional networks can use to attract more HBCUs/ MSIs
Collaborate with 2/3 MSIs or a R1/R2 institution to get NSF grants suchs as CC*
Assist overcome barriers. MS-CC undertook a major MSI survey Results showed the following barriers
• U.S.HE-EnvyofWorld; SymbolofProsperity,Createsopportunitiesforpersonalgrowthanddevelopment. Historical/current

• Access /participation consistently remains a hallmark of the Privileged, White Patriarchal class; Women
and people of color are largely excluded from the enterprise.
• In U.S. HE race is largely subordinated to identity framed around pervasive practices of ethnocentrism,
cultural elitism, and discrimination. (Anderson, 1998; Watkins, 2001).
• Through racial oppression, HBCUs emerged from foundation to present and continue to defend and

Stakeholder Alignment Survey Report – January 2021
37. Salish Kootenai College
Tribal College located on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Northwest
Montana
A little Info on tribal colleges
● Academic Programs are as varied as the number of colleges
● Emphasis on environment sciences and tribal cultures
● Lots of other STEM programs as well
● Some other programs at SKC
○ Nursing Programs, Dental Assisting, Social Work, Psychology, Education, Heavy
Equipment and Highway Construction
● Provide workforce development certifications, other certifications such
as EMT
, medical assisting, etc.
● Associates, Bachelors, and Masters programs
38. Cyberinfrastructure at TCUs
● Basic Infrastructure
● Data storage
● Computing services
● High speed Campus network to support infrastructure
● High speed Internet
● Cloud resources
● Sophisticated applications running on power computing systems
● People to help manage the infrastructure and provide training and
guidance in the use of the infrastructure.
39. Cyberinfrastructure at TCUs
● They face the same challenges that mainstream colleges and
universities face
● American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) is the
consortium that all tribal colleges are part of.
41. Three General Areas CI Issues at TCUs
● Resource Challenges
○ Budgetary limitations have driven TCUs to prioritize other
campus needs over those of their IT department. This tendency
to under prioritize the needs of the IT department contributes
to every identified technical issue.
○ IT personnel deficit
● Technical IT Infrastructure Issues
○ Many of the TCUs have significant deficiencies in their basic
physical infrastructure.
● Internet Connectivity Challenges
○ At the time of the study’s completion, TCU Internet connection
42. A Pathway to Improvement
● AIHEC Cyberinfrastructure Effort
● Minority Serving - Cyberinfrastructure Consortium (MS-CC)
○ MS-CC NSF Grant PoCG
○ Tiger Teams
● Development of and access to Shared Resources
○ Technical resources such as clusters, cloud storage, etc
○ Training resources
○ People
43. What SKC is looking to accomplish with CI
● Develop a comprehensive CI Plan that allow researchers and
educators to use CI technologies to improve and expand their
research and provide more educational opportunities to our
students.
● Develop internal and external relationships with CI people to that
researchers and educators can get the training and access to
resources that they need.
● Identify those areas of the campus that CI can enhance
● The CI Plan will establish a path for SKC to develop and maintain a
more technically sophisticated infrastructure for researchers and
educators.
45. Mission of information technology services
Our mission is to support student, faculty and staff success by providing
world class customer service, fostering faculty-led innovation and
research, and enhancing operational efficiency through the effective
use of information technologies.
46. FACULTY LED
RESEARCH
1. CSUSB is one of top five institutions in the CSU for Faculty Led
Research - $44 million in federal funding in 2022-2023
2. Received R2 Designation in 2022
3. Most of the funded research projects did not require high
performance computing
4. When it was needed, faculty went on their own to garner
resources from their colleagues and partner institutions
47. • We needed to find resources for faculty who needed high
performance computing resources
• We didn’t necessarily have the funding, expertise or the resources
to build an infrastructure in house
• We experimented with building a HPC Cluster with hopes of
securing NSF funding to build an infrastructure
The need
48. • Dean Caballero brought researchers from Extreme Science and
Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) in 2015 to talk to our
faculty about using resources for their HPC needs
• We worked with XSEDE for a couple of years, but their resources
didn’t quite match up with what our faculty needs were.
• We ended up buying HPC resources from the San Diego Super
Computing Center to support our faculty needs
• In 2017, CENIC introduced us to the Pacific Research Platform (PRP)
Exploration of resources outside CSUSB
49. • The PRP is a partnership of more than 50 institutions, led by
researchers at UC San Diego and UC Berkeley and includes the
National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, and multiple
research universities in the US and around the world. The PRP
builds on the optical backbone of Pacific Wave, a joint project of
CENIC and the Pacific Northwest GigaPOP (PNWGP) to create a
seamless research platform that encourages collaboration on a
broad range of data-intensive fields and projects.
Pacific (NATIONAL) Research Platform
50. • In June 2017, CSUSB becomes a part of the Pacific Research Platform,
the second CSU to become a part of this prestigious research network
• We worked with our team at ITS to create a Science DMZ and get
connected to the Platform
• In 2018 James Macdonell and Dr. Dung Vu attend the FIONA
workshop at the CENIC Annual Conference
CSUSB becomes a member of the PRP
51. In 2018, CSUSB one of the eight CSU campuses that was upgraded to a 100 Gig link to California
Research and Education Network (CalREN) operated by CENIC (https://cenic.org/about/about-
overview) Campus had two 10 Gig links. One of the reasons CSUSB was chosen for this upgrade was
its focus on supporting faculty-led research.

56. • Some institutions take the "lifeguard" approach to high-
performance computing
• - Support staff are aware of faculty high-performance computing
projects but don't necessarily build or manage technical solutions
• - They "stay out of the pool" and keep a birds’ eye view, but are able
to jump into the pool at a moment’s notice
How HPC Resources are provided to faculty
57. • At CSUSB, we take a "world class customer service" approach to faculty high-
performance computing
• - We provide up to 100% assistance with building and managing technical
solutions, based on faculty’s needs
• - We recommend the computing resources best suited to faculty’s projects
• - We deploy software and build HPC systems adaptable to resources allocations
( RAM, CPU, GPU, etc.)
• - We assist how to operate the software in HPC
• - We provide tech support and collaborate with HPC centers
• - Our goal is to pursue, locate, and secure computing solutions which allow
faculty to successfully complete their research – giving up is not a solution
How HPC Resources are provided to faculty
58. • - Outreach to new HPC centers to request resource allocations
• - Explore features of each HPC center
• - Build relationships, and become active in forums such as the Campus Champion Group
• - Participate in presentations, trainings, conferences to learn new technologies
• - Collaborate with HPC techs to provide solutions

1. How will promising faculty members with meritorious research
projects be able to leverage research infrastructure to accelerate
science when they have little to no support as it relates to CI and
research workflows?
2. How will I ever be a competitive grant applicant without having
significant capabilities to train and scale my staff to ensure we are
able to meet criteria necessary to be a competitive applicant?
3. What is the value of IAM, clouds/HPC and other technology tools
and solutions if these are not readily available on a campus and
with no capabilities for implementation to support researchers that
may be able to use them?
Challenges HBCUs and TCUs Face
92. [ 92 ]
Objective
• Significantly increase and accelerate cyberinfrastructure-centric research capacity at MS-CC campuses
through a set of new approaches from which we can then learn and potentially frame a repeatable, successful
model for cyberinfrastructure implementations on the campuses of minority-serving institutions.

Approach
• Initial allocation of at least five (5) Proof of Concept Grant (PoCG) Awards to select MS-CC institutions that
allows each to perform campus specific CI assessments that drive an overall CI strategic plan and a roadmap
to pioneer new capabilities that advance CI-centric research, and empower scientific advancements.
• Establishing teams of expert CI Professionals that will provide support to the PoCGs through consultation,
implementation of expanded CI capabilities, and leading efforts to ensure these institutions are participating
and collaborating with the broader CI ecosystem.
• MS-CC as a more robust effort so that it can be able to support future PoCGs and to support a more
directed approach to ensure these institutions are participating and collaborating with the broader CI
ecosystem.
93. MS-CC Proof-of-Concept Grant (PoCG) Program
• novel approach to CI planning and capacity development to
advance research and education programs at TCUs and HBCUs

Internet2 in support of HBCUs, TCUs and
other MSIs working together to reduce the
gap between their campus cyberinfrastructure
and the global R&E ecosystem
• Workforce: Increasing the number of qualified students entering the
STEM workforce from HBCUs and broadening the CI knowledge and
capabilities of faculty, staff, and students at HBCUs
• Campus Infrastructure: Supporting the resources necessary to
develop the workforce on HBCU and TCU campuses, leading CI
advancements on campuses. Allowing institutions to become a training
ground that develops professionals who are able to implement and
operate their campus CI.
• Research: Advancing CI capabilities that allow for new, and more
robust community-focused research that has historically not been able
to advance at HBCUs due to limited resources
• Collaboration: Using Tiger Teams as a shared service among
organizations to broaden collaborations, discussions, and communities
of practice within the HBCU and TCU community and ensuring
perspectives are considered throughout the entire research and
education community
Scientific and Broader Impacts
• Advance understanding of how a consortia of shared
resources and expertise can allocate these resources to
historically underserved institutions for targeted impact in
their communities, and toward diversifying the STEM
workforce
• Allow new collaborations to occur between HBCUs,
TCUs and already established research communities,
allowing for new ideas to be incorporated into practices
that may not have previously considered the needs of
minority-serving communities
• Enable Federal agencies to gain insight into STEM
fields and programs essential to minority-serving
communities
• Pioneer new capabilities that better meet the needs,
advance CI-centric research, and empower scientific
advancements on HBCU, TCU, and other MSI campuses
