Celebrate ENGAGE's Birthday with an Everyday Example
STEM students successfully recruited and enrolled? Now retain them!
You may be wondering how it’s possible to marshal the commitment and resources to provide SVS training for at-risk students.
According to Jackie Sullivan, University of Colorado at Boulder, “We decided that the literature was so clear on this. This was an issue of broadening participation.
