MemphiSTEP: A STEM Talent Expansion Program

该项目的重点是通过结合加强学生的招聘、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，将大学支持基础设施的优势与教职员工、学生、管理人员和专业社区的努力和专业知识相结合，同时以研究、最佳实践和当地经验为基础。STEP项目活动计划的主要策略是：微积分训练营暑期桥项目；本科生研究项目；同侪学习和辅导计划、教师发展努力、学习型社区的发展；参与校园内的专业学生组织。

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.
