exclusively on CC students, INSET effectively promotesearly engagement in STEM research, providing opportunities for active learning activities thatmay increase retention and degree completion, while at the same time drawing a diverse studentpopulation.INSET was designed to expose this traditionally under-engaged pool of students to theexcitement of scientific discovery, innovative engineering, and the societal impact of science andtechnology. This is achieved in part by immersing students in a university research environment,giving them first-hand experience on cutting-edge original research in a discipline of theirinterest and with the mentorship of a UCSB student just a step or two ahead of them. The CCinterns make original contributions to this

Programs for secondary students vary from course based experiences to independentstudy similar to what is available to a college student. These early college experiences providestudents the opportunity to develop skills essential to future college and career success. The YSPprogram provides participants with a free, challenging research experience complemented andsupported by additional program elements generally not introduced until the first year of college.Guided by exemplary practices (4) to increase student retention, these complementary experiencesfall into one of the following categories:Academic

. IntroductionIn a review of recent research, Gaff reported in his article “The Disconnect Between GraduateEducation and Faculty Realities” that graduate students are not equipped for the faculty positionsthey accept and have little exposure to other career paths outside the academy 1. Graduatestudents reported not having enough information to help them choose or plan for a career. Oneresponse for this lack of information is the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program launched in1993 by the Association of American Colleges and Universities and the Council of GraduateSchools. The PFF program is designed to expose students to the teaching profession and provideinformation about academic careers. Several research universities have Preparing Future
