RECRUITING AND RETAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF STEM PROFESSIONALS – THE DAY1: WATERSHED RESEARCH COMMUNITY AT HOPE COLLEGE
It is recognized that effective approaches to preparing students for careers in STEM fields include opportunities to practice science – not by taking traditional laboratory courses in a discipline, but by allowing students to experience science in laboratories of investigators and in undergraduate research-based courses. Likewise, the best science and science education occurs in the context of diverse groups of engaged professionals and learners. We describe the Hope College Day1: Watershed Research Community, which brings together successful models of retaining students in STEM fields. The program is open to first year undergraduates, regardless of background and career intent. Students join a research community focused on local community efforts to remediate the Macatawa Watershed. A year-long research course, focused on longitudinal monitoring of chemical and biological water quality metrics in the watershed, provides introductory biology and chemistry laboratory credit for students. A residential component requires students to live in the same dormitory, building community and support networks. Assessment reveals differences in Day1 students’ relatedness and feelings of belonging compared to students taking traditional laboratories. The program addresses national efforts by private and federal funding agencies to promote inclusive excellence in STEM.
