Abstract for the conference program
UWise, funded by the GA BOR STEM II initiative, provides support to STEM majors through a summer bridge program, freshman learning community and freshman seminar courses. UWise also supports faculty with mini-grants for projects that focus on improving instruction and enhancing the success of students in STEM courses and involving them in faculty-directed undergraduate research. Participation in UWise summer bridge program decreased DFW rates in English and STEM courses, as well as improved the GPA. UWise funded research projects results in 30 student publications and 5 peer-reviewed publications. In conjunction with a CCG Replication Grant, we have expanded the STEM to STEAM based ENGL 1101/1102 sections from two to twelve during this funding period.
