Along with their regular curriculum, students will take a student life skills course to help them with time management, study habits and developing positive behaviors that will strengthen their learning experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students will then proceed to the next phase, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step Up<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where individuals will be encouraged to participate on campus in various groups and extracurricular activities. \u00a0A large portion of this phase is improving ways for STEM students to connect with each other, such as through the SIS-STEM department at Homestead Campus. At that site, students are provided opportunities to collaborate with their peers through projects like the campuses Peer-Led Team Learning program. They will also receive tutoring in challenging STEM subjects. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last phase, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step Out, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will focus on the students\u2019 futures outside of MDC. During their last two semesters, students will take field trips to universities and listen to presentations from professionals in the STEM field as well as have access to scholarships to four-year institutions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project will have similarities to another academically-rigorous program at MDC like the Honors College that provides financial assistance to its cohort so students are able to concentrate on their studies. The Honors College awards its students a scholarship that pays for courses during the fall and spring semesters, a stipend and a voucher for textbooks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur goal is to supplement [the student\u2019s] financial package from FAFSA, so they will not have to work and have more time to study,\u201d Archibald said. \u201cWe want to analyze their behavior when they have the money, time and resources to succeed, and see if there is a change in behavior and academic performance.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For now, the program will be exclusively housed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/search\/?q=%22Homestead%20Campus%22\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Homestead Campus<\/span><\/a>. However, that may change. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAll of the [MDC] campuses are constantly collaborating with each other, and if we were to identify and discover the best practices we\u2019ve used in this program, we would be sharing that information with other campuses as well,\u201d said Homestead Campus President Jeanne Jacobs. \u201cIt could lead to those campuses implementing the best practices [for STEM students].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homestead Campus \u00a0was awarded more than $800,000 in funds from the National Science Foundation to develop their ongoing research project, Step 2 STEM.
