Stephen Cox wins College Level-Promotion of Education award at 2014 BEYA STEM Conference

BALTIMORE - Jan. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- Stephen Cox, Project Director of Greater Philadelphia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation at Drexel University has been selected to win the College Level- Promotion of Education award at the 2014 BEYA STEM Conference, which will take place February 6-8 at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, D.C.

The College Level-Promotion of Education award is given to a collegiate faculty or administrative staffer who has demonstrated a strong commitment to preserving superior engineering, scientific and technical education programs.

In his role as director of Philadelphia’s Alliance for Minority Participation (AMP), he leads a consortium of nine institutions across Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The AMP program focuses on undergraduate students, but Cox hopes to change that. As of 2012, Philadelphia AMP is responsible for more than 9600 STEM Bachelor of Science degrees, more than 2200 Master of Science degrees and more than 300 Ph.D. degrees in STEM disciplines.

The 28^th annual BEYA STEM Conference, hosted by US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine, the Council of Engineering Deans of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Lockheed Martin Corporation, continues to bring together students, college administrators, recruiters, engineering and IT professionals, scientists, and high-level decision-makers from the corporate, government, and military communities, in an effort to broaden diversity in this country's technical and scientific work forces.
