裸聊直播

• November 3, 2014

裸聊直播, East Bay has been selected as one of eight CSUs to spearhead , a program designed to retain more of the students who declare science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) majors. Other participating CSUs include Channel Islands, Dominguez Hills, Fresno, Fullerton, Humboldt, Los Angeles and Pomona.

"裸聊直播 is grateful to receive this award," said CSUEB President Leroy M. Morishita. "The award highlights the work being done for the region and also recognizes our university's accomplishments. It funds the development of a faculty/staff-based collaborative program that puts CSUEB students first, and provides them with the academic support and services they deserve."

Made possible by a $4.6 million grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, CSU STEM Collaboratives will integrate summer-through-first-year programs with redesigned foundational courses to inspire students to pursue and complete degrees in STEM. The goal of the program is to meet the need for one million more STEM professionals over the next decade.

"These eight campuses are taking the lead in the CSU's STEM-related innovation," said Ephraim P. Smith, CSU executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer. "They've really thought about how the whole institution — from specific departments in math, science, and engineering, as well residential life and themed learning communities — can work together to boost student success in these high-demand fields."

裸聊直播 will serve as one of eight demonstration sites, sharing implementation strategies and outcomes with the other participants and the rest of the university system to improve STEM education throughout the CSU.

The first two years of college are the most critical to the retention and recruitment of STEM majors, according to the . Graduating nearly 14,000 students who started and completed their degree in STEM-related fields in 2011, the CSU is committed to bolstering programs that increase the number of students who pursue and obtain degrees in STEM. Through the CSU STEM Collaboratives, the university will create summer bridge programs that kindle students' commitment to completing their degree and pursuing a STEM career, develop interactive seminars that actively engage first-year students who are STEM majors, and redesign classes to include activities that ignite interest in STEM-related industries.

CSU STEM Collaboratives will complement CSUEB's existing STEM education activities. Since 2011, when it launched the groundbreaking Institute for STEM Education, CSUEB's goal has been to enhance and help coordinate existing STEM education activities on a regional basis. Lead funders were the Bayer USA Foundation and Wareham Development. In April 2014, the Bayer USA Foundation announced a second grant of $600,000 over three years, in recognition of the important progress the institute has made in improving science education and serving as a statewide model. Its work is also supported by Chevron, the San Francisco Foundation and many others.

"The institute was conceived of as a new kind of effort to bring all the relevant forces together to meet our region's urgent needs for better science education," said Stephanie Couch, the Bayer Executive Director for the Institute. "We're working across academic departments and bringing industry leaders in as active partners to recruit and train science teachers, to develop new curricula and delivery models, and to scale up demonstrably successful programs that inspire students to prepare for careers in the exciting array of scientific fields that make their home in the Bay Area. The Institute and the Gateways East Bay STEM Network have a number of initiatives underway to address student needs from preschool through high school and community college. The CSU STEM Collaboratives grant allows us to launch a new effort that willhelp underrepresented students in STEM disciplines transition from high school to college and will bring needed support to them during their first year in college," Couch says.

To bolster these efforts, CSUEB has partnered with many key players in the region to enhance STEM education — the Alameda and Contra Costa County Offices of Education, Peralta Community College District, the East Bay Economic Development Alliance, Biotech Partners, partners in the Gateways East Bay STEM Network, the California STEM Learning Networkand the many companies taking an active role in STEM education.

STEM Collaboratives anchors a suite of related CSU reforms. The system currently expands service-learning programs to prepare students with the critical job-ready skills needed to excel in STEM-related fields and also develops teacher preparation programs to inspire future students to pursue STEM teaching careers. With the support of grants from the U.S. Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, the S.D. Bechtel Jr. Foundation and Chevron, the CSU will additionally provide new K-12 teachers with authentic, inquiry-based experiences that will help them teach STEM disciplines to future generations. In partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service, the recently launched CSU STEM VISTA program will create unique hands-on opportunities that will increase student interest — particularly from underrepresented communities — in pursuing and completing STEM degrees. Through a grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation, the CSU is partnering with the California Campus Compact to conduct a statewide study examining the impact of service-learning in STEM, which will be used to further enhance the development of high-impact STEM programs.
