Abstract for the conference program
At Georgia College, implementation of the USG STEM Initiative is flourishing and multi-faceted. Programs such as faculty STEM mini-grants, a STEM service learning course, and an undergraduate STEM retention initiative are all part of the broad array of STEM activities at GC focused on improving teaching, learning and student success. The STEM initiative at GC has not only made a positive impact on student performance and retention but also has helped create an environment that fosters local and institutional recognition of STEM related work. This positive environment increases faculty satisfaction and hence productivity, and this overall is good for retention of faculty.
