Our Impact Across STEM

Our work reaches across disciplines and campuses to change how STEM education is designed, delivered, and experienced. Through collaborative teams of faculty, staff, administrators, and students, we implement evidence-based practices, supporting student success, persistence, and retention in STEM. As a result of these changes, students’ STEM journey supports their goals and aspirations.

How We Create Impact: Our Logic Model

The SCIENCE Collaborative supports and empowers students during their undergraduate STEM experience, which will increase student retention and persistence in STEM. When students stay in STEM, they accomplish their goals and realize their potential. Our collective and collaborative engagement provides the foundation for institutional and cross-institutional support of educators and institutional transformation, ultimately leading to student success.
