The Gateway to Engineering, Science and Technology (GEST) program, within the UW-Milwaukee College of Engineering and Applied Science, strives to work with local Milwaukee-area middle and high schools with the goal of identifying and nurturing underrepresented and minority students who show potential for higher education but would otherwise not have the opportunity to pursue such studies. The program includes classroom instruction, labs, and field trips, along with counseling and tutoring. The overall goals of the program are to emphasize career exploration, academic advising, and college preparation with instructors coming from UW-Milwaukee, Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS), and local community professionals.

In 1974 Rose Daitsman led the push to create this outreach program targeted at young people from minority populations with the goal of getting them to consider engineering as a viable career option. In October 1974 the first pilot program was launched with UW-Milwaukee and Riverside High School participating. In 1975 there were plans for a work-study program and over the following years more schools were invited to participate. Young students in the program were exposed to many different engineering, science, and technology projects, as well as additional instruction and tutoring. Along with exposing underrepresented students to engineering, parents were also involved through open houses and classroom participation.

The success of the program was confirmed in 1986 when the Milwaukee Common Council honored students for their work on the "Theater District" project. This project gave students the opportunity to participate in the city's planning of a theater district proposed for downtown Milwaukee, with students taking on the roles of private architectural and planning consultants.

The collection contains general correspondence, surveys, program audits, and overviews, as well as records detailing the various programs and displays that were used and created by students. Also included are photographs, slides, and negatives of students in class, student projects and project competitions, and field trips. Audio cassettes and videocasettes featuring recorded workshops and lectures are also included in the collection.

The files are organized alphabetically by personal name or by subject, then chronologically.
