The Project
Bridging the Gap in STEM is a strategic approach to attract, enroll and retain gifted students in STEM degree programs that lead to productive careers. In addition the program is designed to strengthen the students’ development so they successfully matriculate to graduation. Through a competitive selection process, selected students will receive tutoring, mentoring, and internship opportunities that accelerate graduation and prepare the student from graduate study in a STEM area.
Goals and Objectives
- Enhance academic performance and increase learning gains of STEM students
- Develop student research abilities in the areas of Biology, Computer Information Systems (CIS), Math education and Engineering
- Establish pathways that will support the student in pursuing graduate study
- Engage students in hands-on laboratory experiences through clinical field placements with leading research programs and agencies
