Engineering's Diversity Programs oversees the NASA Training
Program (NTP), Minority Engineering Programs (MEP), Native American Program
in the College of Engineering (NAPCOE) and the Diversity in Engineering
Program (DEP). My immediate goal is to keep up with what is being
done and make sure that we meet the needs of those we serve, LaFarge
said, adding that his long term goal is to increase the retention rate
of engineers and increase opportunities for students. He said he would
like to strengthen summer bridge programs, support groups and study groups.
LaFarge, who overcame several obstacles in his life including
not knowing English until the first grade, said that nothing should stand
in the way of furthering higher education. He said he has worked on several
programs to help others achieve their goals. LaFarge has been a member of the technical staff at Sandia National Laboratories since 1974. He received his bachelors degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Texas-Austin and his masters degree in aeronautical engineering from Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. |
