Abstract

The Open Doors Emerging Scholars Program (ODES) represents a groundbreaking collaboration between Norfolk State University (NSU), Virginia State University (VSU), and the University of Virginia (UVA). Launched in 2021 as an all-virtual program during COVID, this initiative addresses underrepresentation in graduate research degrees. Our month-long immersive experience equips HBCU undergraduates with the insights, skills, and confidence essential for successful graduate endeavors. Open Doors will be a face-to-face program on the grounds of UVA during the summer of 2024.
