Recruitment, Retention, and Success in Science (R2S2) provides access to science, engineering technology, and mathematics (STEM) degrees for the predominantly Hispanic population of the Coastal Bend region served by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMUCC). The goal of R2S2 is to increase the quality, quantity, and diversity of students pursuing and obtaining degrees in science, engineering technology, and mathematics at TAMUCC. R2S2 targets all STEM programs in the TAMUCC College of Science and Technology. R2S2 promotes teaching, training, and learning by creating greater linkages in the teaching of science and mathematics courses with a concomitant emphasis on writing and communications skills, and an enhanced mentoring component involving professional development for faculty and peer mentors. R2S2 has two major objectives: (1) to increase the retention of STEM majors at TAMUCC and (2) to increase the number of STEM majors by recruiting from TAMUCC undeclared majors. Strategies to accomplish these objectives include:a. Improving the existing first-year learning communities' infrastructure for science majors, adding mathematics and extending the learning communities to the sophomore level.b. Developing a peer-mentoring program for the first-year science and technology learning communities.c. Implementing a recruiting program that targets entering first-year students who have not declared a major.

招生、保留和科学方面的成功(R2S2)为德克萨斯州农工大学科珀斯克里斯蒂分校(TAMUCC)服务的沿海本德地区以西班牙裔为主的人口提供获得科学、工程技术和数学(STEM)学位的机会。R2S2的目标是提高TAMUCC追求和获得科学、工程技术和数学学位的学生的质量、数量和多样性。R2S2面向TAMUCC科技学院的所有STEM项目。R2S2通过在科学和数学课程的教学中建立更大的联系，同时强调写作和沟通技能，以及增强的指导组成部分，包括教师和同行导师的专业发展，促进教学、培训和学习。R2S2有两个主要目标：(1)增加TAMUCC STEM专业的保留率；(2)通过从TAMUCC未申报专业中招聘来增加STEM专业的数量。实现这些目标的策略包括：a.改善现有一年级理科学生学习社区的基础设施，增加数学，并将学习社区扩展到二年级水平。为第一年的科学和技术学习社区制定同伴辅导计划。实施一项招生计划，目标是录取未申报专业的一年级学生。
