Armstrong Atlantic State University (AASU) is developing STEM learning communities that focus on both undergraduate research and on targeted freshman experiences that include significant faculty and peer mentoring. Twenty students will be selected each year to participate in a pre-freshman summer undergraduate research experience and participate in an intense one-week skill enhancement program in applied mathematics. With university support, additional math tutoring will be continued through the students' freshman year. These students, who will be joined by 52 additional AASU students, will participate in an academic year learning community experience that will include research supportive courses (inquiry-based format), experiential activities (field trips, community service projects, etc.), a monthly colloquium, and faculty and peer mentor tutoring and counseling.

阿姆斯特朗大西洋州立大学（AASU）正在开发STEM学习社区，专注于本科生研究和有针对性的新生体验，其中包括重要的教师和同伴指导。每年将选出20名学生参加大一前的暑期本科生研究体验，并参加为期一周的应用数学技能提升课程。在大学的支持下，额外的数学辅导将持续到学生的大一。这些学生将与另外52名AASU学生一起参加一学年的社区体验学习，包括研究支持课程（探究式课程）、体验活动（实地考察、社区服务项目等）、每月一次的研讨会，以及教师和同伴导师的辅导和咨询。
