Quahog Cohorts: a community of student scientists

跨学科(99)罗德岛学院S-STEM项目的愿景是创建一个由学生科学家组成的小型但可持续的跨学科社区。该项目每年招收10名主修生物、化学、计算机科学、数学和/或物理的“魁北克学生”。每个群体都是科学、计算和数学学习社区的一部分，这些社区在头两年一起学习课程。S-STEM的学生被介绍到一个“实践社区”，在他们大一的时候进行研究，并在大二的时候加入一个研究小组。作为大三学生和大四学生，参与者继续各自专业的课程，指导年轻群体，帮助招募新群体，同时更深入地参与自己的研究。补充活动包括每学期有组织的社交活动、STEM实习和学生参加会议的旅行。

Interdisciplinary (99)The vision of the Rhode Island College S-STEM project is to create a small but sustainable interdisciplinary community of student scientists. The project is admitting a group of ten "Quahog Cohort" who are majoring in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and/or physics annually. Each Cohort forms part of a Science, Computing and Mathematics Learning Community that take courses together for their first two years. S-STEM students are being introduced in a "Community of Practice" to research in their freshman year and join a research group as sophomores. As juniors and seniors, participants continue with courses in their respective majors, mentor younger Cohorts and help recruit new Cohorts, while becoming more deeply involved in their own research. Supplementary activities include organized social activities each semester, STEM internships, and student travel to conferences.
