report shows these numbers represent si- milar ratios across all science and engi- neering (S&E) fields, with 5.7% Hispanic and 0.3% Native American representation of the 19,721 S&E doctorates awarded. Fostering the success of young scien-
tists, motivating them to attain advanced degrees, and providing increased to opp- ortunities to resources which allow them to become leaders in their fields, are cri- tical components of the SACNAS missi- on. With a 37-year history of developing innovative strategies and programming, SACNAS fills a unique role of being in- clusive and multidisciplinary. These stra- tegies have led to its national recognition as the premier organization promoting di- versity in science careers. “The partnership with ACS is very ti-
mely for SACNAS, and we are excited about the possibilities,” says Judit Camac- ho, SACNAS Executive Director. “Wor- king in collaboration with other scientific societies and organizations allows us to align around common goals and visions,
“African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans are among the three ethnic groups whose representation across all scientific disciplines is a small fraction of their respective population size”
share best strategies and practices for at- tracting and retaining talent from diverse populations, and to make an even greater impact on the advancement of science.” ACS President Joseph S. Francisco
called the agreement a milestone for both organizations. “We take this step,” Francisco said,
“urged on by our shared belief that increa- sing the participation of underrepresented populations in the scientific community to a level that reflects their representation in the country’s population is a critical com- ponent in addressing the relatively stag- nant U.S. scientific talent pool and sus- taining U.S. competitiveness in a global economy. It is fortunate that our organiza- tions share this vision.”
Mission: SACNAS is a society of scientists
dedicated to fostering the success of Hispanic/Chicano and Native American scientists—from college students to pro- fessionals—in attaining advanced degre- es, careers, and positions of leadership.
National recognitions: Named by the National Science Board
