Therefore, a key factor in strengthening the STEM workforce is creating opportunities toenhance capacity by ensuring accessibility to STEM education for individuals across allsocioeconomic groups [2].

Social Interdependence ModelAbstractThe Leadership Development Program (LDP) at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIU)is a two-year undergraduate experiential leadership development program. Since inception 15years ago, the LDP has a 100 percent post-graduation placement rate. Included in this statisticare the graduates that elect to continue their graduate studies. The Pathways to STEM Leadership(PSL), an NSF S-STEM project at SIU, provides scholarships to support STEM majors’ successin the LPD. Now in its sixth year, the PSL project examines the impact early S-STEM leadershiptraining produces on transformational technical leadership in its graduates.

S-STEM project “HumanConnect” is aligned withthe Humanitarian Engineering Scholars (HES) program in the College of Engineering andsupports scholarships of up to 4 full years for academically talented students who demonstratefinancial need, enabling them to enter the STEM workforce or graduate school following STEMdegree completion. Our two main goals are to 1) Positively impact the retention and graduationof Engineering students with financial need and 2) Improve academic performance relative to acontrol group (selected from another scholars’ community, Green Engineering Scholars or GES).In the first year of the award (2013-14), scholarships were granted to a first cohort of 15 students(11 first year and 4 second year).

The S-STEM includes scales on attitudes towards mathematics,science, engineering, and technology, 21st century learning skills, and STEM career awareness. For the purposes ofthis project, the mathematics scale was removed and replaced by a nanotechnology focused scale developed duringprevious one-week camps provided for high school students.

The program was anticipated to provide a streamlined academicpathway for transfer students from 2-year programs within South Carolina into ClemsonUniversity, and provide programming to aid their academic success and social integration. Toachieve this, the faculty intended to solidify cohorts of students at two community/technicalcolleges (Spartanburg Community College and Trident Technical College) and then support thatcohort as they transitioned together into Clemson University.
