Abstract:
|
We all know it takes a village, and that is especially true when it comes to our underrepresented students in higher education, specifically those in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields. Although Hispanics accounted for 16% of the U.S. population in 2010, they earned only 8% of all certificates and degrees awarded in STEM fields between 2009 and 2010 (Santiago & Soliz, 2012). This presentation will explain the development and integration of individualized case management, peer mentoring and the Professional Learning Community (PLC) into the SESI first-year experience to ensure that our students, faculty and the SESI program reach their potential. We have developed a program that incorporates these practices. |
