Langston University Wins $2,249,925 NSF Award to Launch ASCEND STEM Program
Langston University in Oklahoma has announced a five-year, $2,249,925 award from the National Science Foundation’s HBCU-UP program to launch ASCEND, short for Advancing STEM Competencies and Enhancing New Discoveries with AI-Assisted Learning Analytics.
The project is led by Dr. John Coleman, with funding running through August 31, 2031, according to the university. It is housed in the School of Arts and Sciences, whose acting dean is Dr. Franklin Fondjo Fotou.
ASCEND will bring learning-analytics tools into STEM teaching and student support, helping faculty identify learning difficulties earlier and target tutoring, while also supporting undergraduate research training.
Langston University is Oklahoma’s only historically Black university. The school said the award will expand STEM coursework and laboratory capacity and prepare more undergraduates for science and technology careers.
