Abstract for the conference program
The STEM II Initiative is contributing to the success of STEM majors at GPC by supporting Peer-Led Undergraduate Study (PLUS) Tutors, a Faculty Mini-Grant Program which is encouraging collaboration and producing innovating educational materials and experiences for students in STEM gateway courses, and providing workshops and seminars for faculty development. The Initiative also supports Project MESA, preparing educationally disadvantaged STEM majors for transfer to four-year institutions. The STEM Initiative stimulated faculty to apply for external funding, resulting in nearly $3.5 million in new funding over the next five years. The grant has also allowed GPC to hire an executive-level administrator to coordinate STEM initiatives.
