AB: The Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling (CISM) is a Science and Technology Center (STC) funded by the National Science Foundation. Like other STCs, CISM has a strong education program and a commitment to increasing diversity in science. In this paper we will review efforts that CISM is making to improve diversity in space science. In particular, CISM is working to support and develop a new space science graduate program at an historically black university. We will also discuss efforts to recruit and retain outstanding students from historically underrepresented groups by providing them with exciting research and career development opportunities.
