Our goal in the STEM RISE (Raising Inclusiveness in STEM Education) Program is to significantly increase student interest, performance, persistence, and STEM graduation, and then for our students to proceed into STEM careers, including graduate programs. Our STEM RISE Program strongly aligns with our institutions Quality Enhancement Plans (QEPs) designed to capitalize on our talented, asset rich students, who are ready to succeed in the classroom, the world of work, and the global community.
