This project focuses on increasing the number of majors and graduates across various STEM areas (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) through the incorporation of activities that strengthen recruitment, retention, and persistence among students. This is a holistic project that concentrates on all stages of a STEM student's undergraduate experience and combines the strengths of the University's support infrastructure with efforts and expertise of faculty, staff, students, administrators, and the professional community, while building on research, best practices, and local lessons learned. The major strategies incorporated in the STEP program plan of activities are: a Calculus Bootcamp Summer Bridge Program; an Undergraduate Research Program; Peer Learning and Mentoring Initiatives, Faculty Development Efforts, Development of Learning Communities; and Engagement with professional student organizations on campus.

该项目的重点是通过纳入加强学生招聘，保留和坚持的活动，增加各个STEM领域（科学，技术，工程和数学）的专业和毕业生数量。 这是一个整体项目，专注于STEM学生本科经历的各个阶段，并将大学支持基础设施的优势与教师，员工，学生，管理人员和专业人士的努力和专业知识相结合，同时建立在研究，最佳实践和当地经验教训的基础上。 STEP计划活动计划中的主要战略包括：微积分训练营夏桥计划;本科生研究计划;同伴学习和指导计划，教师发展努力，学习社区的发展;以及与校园内专业学生组织的合作。
