and social cultures among the various STEM disciplines will undermine a ‘onesize fits all’ retention plan. Based upon departmental needs analyses and published research onpossible ‘fits’ from successful STEM initiatives at other institutions, we designed PRIMES toblend two general strands that would support these anticipated outcomes: 1. Transform Teaching and Learning: Improved retention as a result of expanding our undergraduate teaching assistance (UTA) programs and institutionalizing a formal UTA training pedagogy. A working knowledge in best practices will enable them to be both effective and engaging in the laboratory and/or classroom. 2. Increase Faculty and Student Interactions: Improved retention as a
