Purdue UniversityFort Wayne is a metropolitan, non-selective, public institution with a high percentage of under-prepared, first-generation, low-income, commuter students, many of whom work. The objectivesof this project are to (a) increase graduation rates of the STEM cohorts; (b) build the foundationfor a sustainable institutional structure and support STEM scholars and other students; (c) carryout research designed to advance understanding of the factors, practices, and curricular and
