Upon arriving at The City College of New York in 1981, Dr. Akins opened his research laboratory to both high school students and undergraduates with a keen interest in science, who were willing to work hard both academically and in the laboratory. With the assistance of a cadre of like-minded faculty, Dr. Akins expanded this model by establishing the Center for Analysis of Structures and Interfaces (CASI), a major research center and training laboratory for high school students in their junior and senior years, high school chemistry and physics teachers, and undergraduate and graduate students. These efforts have led to City College being one of the nation's leaders in providing Ph.Ds. to minority students. During the 1997-98 Academic Year, eleven underrepresented minority students obtained their Ph.Ds. at City College in chemistry or engineering.

在1981年抵达纽约城市学院后，Akins博士向对科学有浓厚兴趣的高中生和本科生开放了他的研究实验室，他们愿意在学术和实验室方面努力工作。 在志同道合的教师的帮助下，Akins博士通过建立结构和界面分析中心（CASI）扩展了这一模型，该中心是一个主要的研究中心，也是高中学生在初中和高中的培训实验室，高中化学和物理教师，以及本科生和研究生。 这些努力使城市学院成为全国提供博士学位的领导者之一。少数民族学生。在1997-98学年，11名代表性不足的少数民族学生获得了博士学位。在城市学院学化学或工程
