designed to upgrade elementary instruction in two predominantly Negro elementary schools in New Orleans My principal job was to help enrich the mathematical background of some of the elementary schools teachers involved in the project B Experienced Teacher Fellowship Program (1969-70) Twenty elementary school teachers from educationally disadvantaged areas of Louisiana were selected to pursue a program of full time study to prepare themselves as elementary mathematics specialists This program was funded by the U.S Office of Education with a grant of $172,400.00 (0EG-0-0-280383-1754-721) In the 1970-71 Elementary Mathematics Specialists Program, twenty-five elementary school teachers from educationally disadvantaged areas in Greater New Orleans or from desegregated faculties were selected to pursue a mathematics specialists program This program was funded by U.S Office of Education with a grant of $105,000.00 (0EG-0-70-5227 (725)) C The Louisiana Task Force on Ethnic Studies (1972) 16 The Task Force was appointed by the State Superintendent of Education in 1972 It consisted of representatives of various ethnic groups within Louisiana The purpose of the task force was to set out guidelines and recommend policies for the formation and implementation of an Ethnic Studies Program at the various levels of education in the state D SER of

the Center was to increase the access of minority students and students from low income families to careers in science and engineering This project was funded by the National Science Foundation with a grant of $49,900 (NSF 77-20190) F Texas Proposal Development Workshop (1979-80) The purpose of this workshop was to assist the NSF-MISIP Program to accomplish its objective on increasing the competitiveness of minority institutions in non-targeted programs through improvement of proposal development, development of review skills, and improvement of project monitoring and evaluation capabilities A workshop was held in San Antonio on January 13 - 17, 1980 The project (SER 7921224) was supported by an NSF grant of $35,481.00 G San Antonio High Technology High School Task Force

College, which began operation in August 1983 H San Antonio Prefreshman Engineering Program (1979- ) The purpose of PREP is to identify achieving middle school and high school students and prepare them for college studies in science and engineering Since 1979, 11,712 students have completed at least one summer of San Antonio PREP 79% have been minority and 55% have been women Of the 8,327 college age former PREP participants, 4,631 responded to the 2005 annual follow-up survey Their high school graduation rate is 99.9%, 97% are college students (2,289) or college graduates (2,181) The senior college graduation rate of college attendees is 89% 47% of the college graduates majored in mathematics, science or engineering The PREP Program has been supported by financial grants and in-kind manpower contribution by local and state colleges and universities, local and national industry, local and national military commands, several government agencies, local school districts, San Antonio Summer Youth Programs, and Texas Department of Human Services Summer School Lunch Program (Source of Information: 2005 San Antonio PREP Annual Report) 17 I Texas Prefreshman Engineering Program (1986Proyecto Access (1996- ) ); TexPREP started in 1986 as a statewide expansion on San Antonio PREP, which began in 1979 Over 25,000 students have completed at least one summer in a TexPREP location; 81% have been minority and 53% have been women 38% have come from low-income families Of the 11,688 college age former TexPREP participants, 5,741 responded to the 2007 annual follow-up survey Their high school graduation rate is 99.9% 99% are college students (2,875) or college graduates (2,789) The senior college graduation rate of college attendees is 82% 47% of graduates are mathematics, science or engineering majors 74% of the senior college graduates are minority and 68% of the mathematics, science, and engineering graduates are members of minority groups 68% of the college students or graduates are Texas college students (2,823) or Texas college graduates (2,464).(This information was taken from TexPREP reports.) PROYECTO ACCESS is the nationwide replication of San Antonio PREP outside of Texas, which began in 1996 It has been a collaborative effort of NASA, UTSA, and the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities J Texas Prefreshman Engineering Program Curriculum Writing Project (1991) Through a major grant from the National Science Foundation, a team consisting of San Antonio PREP faculty and program participants compiled a PREP start-up kit This kit consists of an organizational manual and curricular materials for all academic components A national TexPREP Workshop was held in February 1992 for prospective PREP directors It was cosponsored by TexPREP, The University of Texas at San Antonio, National Science Foundation, Mathematical Association of America SUMMA Project, and the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities 1992 San Antonio PREP conducted an intern program for prospective PREP directors NOTE: At least $ 37,000,000 in financial and in-kind support has been recruited for the operation and conduct of San Antonio PREP, TexPREP, and Proyecto Access from local, state, and national private and public agencies since 1979 18 PUBLICATIONS: MATHEMATICS Minimal Regular Spaces, Proc Amer Math Soc., Vol 14, No 3, 1963, Pages 454-458 (with R.H Sorgenfrey) Minimal Topological Spaces, Trans Amer Math Soc., Vol 108, No 1, 1963, Pages 97-105 Categories of Certain Minimal Topological Spaces, Journal Australian Math Soc., Vol IV Part 1, 1964, pages 78-82 The Complement of Topology for Some Topological Groups, FundamentaMathematicae, Vol LVIII, 1966, pages 159-162 A Survey of Minimal Topological Spaces, General Topology and its Relation to Modern Algebra and Analysis, Proceedings of the Kanpur Topological Conference, Academy of Prague, 1971, Pages 93-114 (with J.R Porter and R.M Stephenson, Jr.) 18 The Regular Continuous Image of a Minimal Regular Space is Not Necessarily Minimal Regular, Proc Amer Math Soc., Vol 51, No 2, 1975, Pages 453-454 (with C.F Blakemore) Noncompact, Minimal Regular Spaces, Pacific Journal of Math 69 (1977), 19-23, (with Hon-Fai Lai and Dix H Petty) MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE, AND ENGINEERING EDUCATION Elementary Set Theory and the Number System, UCLA Bookstore, 1960 (This booklet was used in NSF Inservice Institutes for Mathematics Teachers at UCLA.)
