These provided for increased student peer interactions inside andoutside of class. Student-faculty connections were developed through opportunities to participatein socialization and wellness events. These were informal remote gatherings that were a mix ofsubstantive and social events to attract a varied range of interests. Students were polled at thebeginning of the semester regarding the types of events that would be offered, and it was madeclear that participation was voluntary and would not impact grades in any way.

It is projected that STEMjobs will continue growing 17.0% during 2008 - 2018, compared to just 9.8% for non-STEMjobs (Langdon, 2011). Besides, workers in STEM occupations also earn more on average than their counterparts inother fields, regardless of their educational attainment. A regression analysis – which controls fora variety of demographic, geographic, industry, etc – demonstrated the salary premium in STEMfields. In addition to higher earnings, workers in STEM occupations on average experience lowerunemployment rates than those in other fields. Another impressive characteristic of STEMworkers is their educational attainment. More than two-thirds
