Connecting Mentor Partners forAcademic Success in STEM (CoMPASS) is an NSF S-STEM scholarship program developed tocreate a pathway to guide first generation students from the X Public School District to developtheir social capital through intentional mentoring throughout their first year experience at XUniversity and beyond. The multilayered mentoring approach introduced distinctive campusmentors embedded within scheduled programming to align with the student’s first yearexperience. The CoMPASS program began with virtual sessions in spring 2020 as students’ firstinteraction with the campus support network after CoMPASS scholars were accepted into theinstitution, but before they

In May of 2018, Dr. Cunningham received the Rose-Hulman Board of Trustee’s Outstanding Scholar Award for his research work. Dr. Cunningham teaches a range of courses across undergraduate levels with specialization in dynamic systems, measurement, and control. In his teaching he seeks to apply what he has learned from his research, spurring student reflection and metacognitive growth, so that they may become more skillful learners. Skillful learners are capable, independent, and adaptable thinkers who are able to succeed wherever their career paths lead. Dr. Cunningham has industry experience through 7 co

To fill thisdemand, it is predicted that the U.S. needs to increase the yearly production of undergraduateSTEM degrees by 34%.
