opportunities forunderrepresented students. Students are expected to learn to work independently and tocollaborate with other group members as they conduct research in specific topics in energyresearch. This will enable them to understand their own levels of aptitude and interest in a careerin science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and give them the tools to preparefor the next stage in their education and career development. Students will report and present theirresearch results in multiple settings. The research, educational, and career mentorship provided bythe program is envisioned to stimulate the students to look at their academic work in a new lightand to provide a spark for possible careers in academic research or industrial

, Technology, Engineering,and Mathematics (STEM) programs at all levels does not meet the need of the industry. This needis more urgent at the graduate, specifically, the master’s level (NSF, NSB, 2022).Our goal has been to create and institutionalize best practices for the recruitment, retention, andtimely graduation of master’s students to create a sustainable pipeline to address this need at thegraduate level. Hence, we attempted to expand this pipeline by creating an environment thatattracts, supports, and retains historically or traditionally marginalized or minoritized and diversepopulations. According to the literature, there are a series of activities that are proven for therecruitment and retention of low-income and academically talented, and
experiencefor students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) majors. These programsmost often select the top undergraduate students to perform research at prestigious universities.The REU that is the topic of this paper takes another approach in order to broaden theparticipation of community college students in STEM majors and careers. The NanotechnologyREU with a Focus on Community Colleges brings the top students from local two year campusesto a top-tier university for a 10-week research internship. Students traditionally underrepresentedin STEM fields including minorities, females, first generation to attend college, andeconomically disadvantaged are targeted for participation in this REU program. Each REU internis matched with a
