With this opportunity in mind, theworking group undertook a comprehensive benchmarking process that involved twocomponents. First, the group conducted an inventory of prior (<20 yrs) interventions within COErelated to undergraduate student recruitment, retention, and diversity. Second, a literature reviewwas also conducted, encompassing national reports of best practices in student recruitment andretention as well as case studies of individual institutions that have made notable progress ingender and/or racial diversity within their own

Theplanning of professional development programs that can lead to desired teaching practices is nota simple process [3]. Too often, short term teacher training institutes and after school workshopsare seen as ends in themselves.

Furthermore, many universitieshave implemented a variety of programs that employ high impact retention approaches,including advising, mentoring, active learning, student engagement, and other support services.[10-14]. While there are many causes that result in low graduation rates, it is more likely thatrates could be improved if students are well-prepared for college and have clear future careergoals. Studies have shown, for example, that K-12 students who participate in STEM programsincrease their chances to succeed in STEM disciplines once they are in college.
