Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Scholars Program

明尼阿波利斯社区和技术学院是一所独特的多元化和城市明尼苏达大学，通过MCTC科学，技术，工程和数学学者（S-STEM）计划为学生在科学和技术方面的成功提供了一条途径。 该计划有助于创建一个更加多样化，准备更充分的STEM专业社区，不仅使符合条件的代表性不足，服务不足的学生在科学和技术方面取得成功，而且还使其他成绩优异的学生能够继续接受教育。参加S-STEM课程的学生中有89%毕业，转入学士学位课程，或者正在毕业或转学。 这种新的支持使该机构能够通过加强招聘，服务更多学生，创建校友支持小组和整合新的校园资源来加强和改善其工作。 改进的招聘策略包括同时利用数字资源，学生俱乐部和校园活动，以增加合格申请人的数量。 新的校园资源将被纳入包括综合咨询，导师链接到课程，在干新的学生兴趣小组，和MCTC本科生研究计划. MCTC S-STEM项目正在创建一个更多样化，更好的准备STEM专业社区，使学术上有才华，经济上有困难的学生在科学和技术上取得成功. 这个项目的创造性和成功的设计是基于奖学金与同行队列和教师指导支持相结合。来自STEM学科，相关管理人员，财政援助人员和学生支持人员的成就教师的承诺，以及一流的设施，支持服务，与学士学位机构的长期联系，以及当地STEM行业的杰出联系，使该计划可持续发展。此外，MCTC S-STEM学者计划还为第一代学生，低收入学生，有色人种学生和其他成绩优异的学生提供服务。在这样做的过程中，它正在帮助培养一支多样化、合格的劳动力队伍，以加强区域和全球经济。MCTC S-STEM的结果通过MCTC网站和教师在地方和国家会议上的演讲报告。 该计划还通过创建一个支持STEM学生的计划校友网络，通过增加在STEM领域获得学位的学生的多样性，以及通过加强有利于后代STEM学生的支持服务，留下了持久的遗产。

Minneapolis Community and Technical College, a uniquely diverse and urban Minnesota college, is providing a pathway to student success in science and technology through the MCTC Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholars (S-STEM) program. This program helps create a more diverse, better-prepared STEM professional community by enabling not only eligible underrepresented, underserved students to succeed in science and technology, but also by enabling other high achieving students to further their education.Previous NSF awards at MCTC have a strong history of student success; 89% of students participating in the S-STEM program graduate, transfer to a baccalaureate program, or are on track for graduation or transfer. This new support is enabling the institution to strengthen and improve its efforts by stepping up recruiting, serving more students, creating alumni support group and incorporating new campus resources. Improved recruiting strategies include leveraging digital resources, student clubs, and campus events concurrently to increase the pool of qualified applicants. New campus resources to be incorporated include integrated advising, tutors linked to courses, new student interest groups in STEM, and the MCTC Undergraduate Research Initiative.The MCTC S-STEM project is creating a more diverse, better-prepared STEM professional community by enabling academically talented, financially needy students to succeed in science and technology. The creative and successful design of this project is based on combining scholarship monies with peer cohort and faculty mentoring support. The commitment of accomplished faculty from STEM disciplines, relevant administrators, financial aid staff, and student support staff, as well as top-notch facilities, support services, long-standing connections with baccalaureate institutions, and outstanding contacts in the local STEM industry make the program sustainable. Furthermore, the MCTC S-STEM Scholars program is also serving first-generation students, low-income students, students of color, and other high achieving students. In so doing, it is helping to prepare a diverse, well-qualified workforce that can strengthen both the regional and global economy. The results of MCTC S-STEM are reported via the MCTC website and faculty presentations at local and national conferences. The program is also leaving a lasting legacy by creating a network of program alumni to support STEM students, by increasing the diversity of students earning degrees in STEM fields, and by enhancing support services that benefit future generations of STEM students.
