New York City College of Technology, a senior college and minority-serving institution, is expanding its collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) to train the next generation of scientists in Accelerator Research & Development (R&D). This project will provide hands-on training for up to 45 STEM students through research experiences and coursework, including a new academic minor in Accelerator Science and Technology. With a focus on diversity and inclusion, the initiative aims to break barriers in the field while aligning with the Department of Energy’s mission to develop a highly skilled workforce in accelerator science.
