How do Scientist Spotlights improve student success in STEM?

The inclusion of Scientist Spotlights into introductory STEM courses help all students, especially those underrepresented in STEM, create a sense of belonging in the classroom and have been shown to improve student success.

Please join Professor Amanda Colosimo and Professor Jessica Barone, both of the Chemistry and Geosciences Department, for the second workshop in the "Rock Stars in the Classroom: Student Success and Retention in STEM" series on Wednesday, October 7th at noon (Zoom link provided on the registration form).

The registration form and descriptions of each workshop are available at the following link: https://serc.carleton.edu/sage2yc/teams/monroe/workshop2020/index.html

If you were unable to attend the first workshop, you are still welcome and encouraged to attend the second and/or third (10/14) workshops! These workshops are a product of grant work and training through the SAGE2YC (Supporting and Advancing Geoscience Education at Two-Year Colleges) Program and the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education.

Please contact Amanda Colosimo (acolosimo@monroecc.edu) with any questions.
