Distance Learning Center (dlc) was incorporated in 1990 as a 501 c 3 non-profit corporation to spearhead the stemprep project, a vehicle for producing the next generation of minority researchers in science, technology, engineering, math (stem) and medicine. From the beginning, the dlc designated its target population as being those minority groups who will become the emerging majority in the u.s. By 2050, but who at present are underrepresented in stem disciplines: african-americans, mexican-americans, native americans, native hawaiians and mainland puerto ricans. The original mission of the dlc was to develop innovative training concepts, implement comprehensive programs, and to fund raise to support programs for these underrepresented minority groups. The backbone of the dlc has been its pool of volunteers who have given of their time to create a new training paradigm based on an early start model, a longitudinal training continuum and a multi-institutional mentorship approach

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.

All figures are derived from public IRS Form 990 filings and are presented without evaluation of any organization. philanthropy.org does not rate, score, or rank organizations, including the pay comparisons above.
