Participants were asked to write down on a collaborative boardideas about challenges youth face at home, at school, at work, but also challenges they envision for theirfuture or for future generations.

On a large scale, the integrity of the institution ischallenged by graduates who have not learned the techniques of their discipline, but rather,have simply cheated their way through. The employers that hire the graduates receive aproduct that is second rate. Eventually, it can affect the public perception of the institutionwhen graduates boast that their education was easy and they could fraudulently pass their waythrough. For the instructor, it presents a dilemma of whether the cheating should bechallenged, which requires extra time and effort (as outlined in the remainder of this paper) orwhether the easier way

These groups helped usidentify the badges which would be the most valued and meaningful for both students andemployers. We have offered students the opportunity to earn badges for Outstanding Team Membersince Spring 2018 and Outstanding Mentorship since Fall 2019. Two new badges, Outstanding OralPresentation and Outstanding Writing, will be awarded January 2020. These badges are usuallyearned in the Fall semester to allow students to showcase these competencies on their resume orgraduate school application. Management and Earning of Badges

Thus, it requires minimal time investment by the newfaculty cohort members.Most recently, expansion of the cohort has resulted in the formation of the Junior Faculty WritersGroup. The focus of this group is to provide a framework for peer review of manuscripts invarious stages of the writing process, review journal or conference papers, grant proposals, bookchapters, academic portfolios, or any other scholarly works.

While thebenefits of active learning are clear, simply breaking students into small groups to work onproblems during class does not automatically address the pervading issue of student motivation.Biggs and Moore (2) classify four primary types of motivation: 1. Intrinsic – learning because of natural curiosity or interest in the activity itself 2. Social – learning to please the professor or their peers 3. Achievement – learning to enhance your position relative to others 4. Instrumental – learning to gain rewards beyond the activity itself (better grades, increased likelihood of getting a high paying job etc.)As such, an active learning activity that addressed all four of these motivational categories wouldbe useful

The foundation behind such advice is to solicit and value multipleperspectives, which can help identify alternative pathways and options for the mentee[17]. Such feedback can come in informal, short sessions or longer, more formalizedmeetings. Collectively, these newer models of mentoring include “multiple ‘mentoringpartners’ in non-hierarchical, collaborative, cross-cultural partnerships to address specificareas of faculty activity” [17]. Women and faculty with underrepresented identities mayespecially benefit from peer-mentoring and cross-mentoring [18].

To demonstrate theimportance of the student’s academic performance, when ever the GPA of the student falls below3.0, his/her place is replaced by some other student based on the high school teachers’recommendation. This is implemented to encourage students to work hard while in middle andhigh school and maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA. This also creates peer competition, which in turnencourages hard work necessary to secure admission into the program.Hands-on Experience The human mind grasps concepts better when an activity is performed in real time comparedto when read from a book.
