Tracking Student Access to High-Impact Practices in STEM
Wednesday, March 8, 2017, 1:00-2:00 p.m. Eastern Time
We know that certain “High-Impact Practices,” such as internships, undergraduate research, capstone courses, and learning communities, help undergraduate students persist and succeed. These practices have a disproportionately positive impact on students from underrepresented backgrounds. This webinar will briefly summarize the evidence for High-Impact Practices and share innovative efforts from California State University, Northridge and the University of South Carolina to track and analyze underrepresented student participation in High-Impact Practices in STEM. The webinar will close with action items to study these practices further for STEM students and convene a learning collaborative to develop better data collection systems.
Speakers include:
- P. Kay Lund, Ph.D., Director of the Division of Biomedical Research Workforce, National Institutes of Health
- Tia Brown McNair, Ph.D., Vice President of the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Student Success, Association of American Colleges & Universities
- Bettina Huber, Ph.D., Director of the Office of Institutional Research, California State University, Northridge
- Paul L. Beasley, TRIO Director, University of South Carolina
