Indeed, because Black women exist a backdrop of myth and stereotype, their voices are often distorted and misunderstood. If she is opinionated, she is difficult. If she speaks with passion, she is volatile. If she explodes with laughter, she is unrefined. If she pitches her neck as she makes a point, she is streetwise and coarse. So much of what Black women say, and how they say it, pushes other people to buy into the myth that Black women are inferior, harsh, and less

Once ascholar has graduated from NCSU, he/she does not need to repay any of the financial aid back tothe program, nor does he/she need to submit any progress reports back to the STEM Scholarsprogram after graduation.Program ActivitiesAlong with maintaining a high academic merit, each scholar is expected to participate in at leastone extracurricular activity. This includes industry internships, undergraduate research, studyabroad, writing/tutoring services, faculty seminars and workshops, and academic/service on-campus organizations. Participation in such activities enhances students’ academic maturationand professional skills. It helps develop professionalism, teamwork, and time-management skills,which will benefit students in their future

UTAs activity has evolved; in several cases they aresuperseding Graduate Teaching Assistants. First year students relate more with second yearstudents than with graduate students, seen as much older than their peers. Time UTAs spendtutoring students is now greater than it used to be at the beginning of the program. Some of themeven hold regular office hours for specific tasks, for instance Matlab or R.Now that their role is more relevant, their inexperience can have a greater impact on the class. Inaddition we are recruiting many more UTAs, and we cannot expect from all of them the sameexceptional response we had from the few.Literature ReviewAccording to the National Center for Educational Statistics, nearly half of undergraduate STEMmajors

This GPA was set there to encourage applications from students who would not qualifyfor highly competitive academic scholarships. Program staff chose to focus on those studentswho have the ability and potential to succeed, but who have faced obstacles in their lives.Students may show academic potential by being eligible to enroll in pre-calculus or the firstsemester of general chemistry.In the application, students write an essay in which they describe their professional goals, theirtransfer STEM major, special interests, participation in other programs and clubs, andachievements

Previous research has shown that participation in SI correlates with higher course grades,more confidence in course material, greater material retention, higher overall GPA, and greaterstudent retention and graduation rates.

For example, a previous study found only 40% of students enrolled in historicallydifficult classes (including general chemistry) took advantage of the SI provided.
