It should raise alarm that unless we address this issue with holistic, organic approaches like It Could Be U/IE on a broader scale soon, the rate at which we fall behind, particularly in the STEM arenas, will increase and our ability to compete globally will decline.

As we have learned with our Intellectual Entrepreneurship (IE) initiative at UT, to get more students into the pipeline it is not enough simply to offer traditional "outreach" programs and remdial education; we must simultaneously create incubators (spaces) where students can discover their passion and discern--in more organic and entrepreneurial ways--how and why education is needed to bring their dreams to fruition. That, of course, is what you are helping to do and why the It Could Be U/IE collaboration has such potential. IE Mentor Justin Jefferson is a powerful example of this. Check out his story: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTgjp16A2o4 and https://webspace.utexas.edu/cherwitz/www/articles/jj_scientist.pdf This work is so important.
