MUSPIN Mission Statement
To transfer advanced computer networking technologies to institutions predominantly attended by racial or ethnic minorities at the graduate, undergraduate, and precollege levels who traditionally have been underrepresented in mathematics, science, engineering and technology (MSET) areas related to NASA's mission.
In the conduct of this mission, MU-SPIN will:
Strengthen the science and engineering capabilities of MU-SPIN institutions in research and education via computer networks;
Involve and prepare minority institutions and principal investigators to successfully participate in competitive research and education processes via computer networks; and
Develop training and education mechanisms to support, sustain and evolve the institutional network infrastructure, thereby generating a better prepared pool of candidates to contribute to NASA's workforce diversity efforts.
