Engineering and Computing (SPECTRA) program is an NSFScholarship in STEM (S-STEM)(Award # 1834081) based out of Clemson University in SouthCarolina. The SPECTRA program focuses on aiding transfer students interested in anEngineering or Computing degree by offering scholarships, opportunity to form cohorts, andaccess to professional skill-building programs. The goals of SPECTRA are as follows: (1) to provide scholarship opportunities to low-income students who wish to pursue engineering or computing at Clemson (2) to build cohorts of transfer students to support their transition into Clemson while also allowing for the Advisors for Cohorted Engineers (ACE) Fellows program to aid in the
including Galileo and Hypatia Living-Learning Communities and the CEED Peer Mentoring program. Previously, Dr. Katey served as the Assistant Director of Stu- dent Success and First-year Experience at Siena Heights University located in Adrian, Michigan, where she played a pivotal role in creating an environment of success for first-year students. Her professional interests and research focus on the retention of underrepresented and underserved students. Dr. Katey graduated from Clarion University of Pennsylvania (Clarion, PA) where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Education (2007) and a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction (2010). In 2019, she grad- uated from Morgan State University’s Higher Education
understanding of the components, that is, each organization’s culture andpriorities, and how – or if – they align for the success of the collaborative [4]. When cultures andpriorities are taken for granted, ambiguous, or interpreted differently by individuals acrossorganizations, misunderstandings or differential experiences can lead to issues arising in MTS.This is further compounded by individual team member’s experiences within the sameorganization [5].Project BackgroundWe created a multisector MTS to develop and implement a project funded by the NationalScience Foundation’s (NSF’s) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics (S-STEM) program titled “Improving Access to Career and EducationalDevelopment (I-ACED) for Talented, Low

The Carnegie Commission on Higher Educationdeveloped the system in 1973 to support its research and policy analysis program. Derived fromempirical data on colleges and universities, the Carnegie Classification® was updated in 1976,1987, 1994, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2018, and 2021 to reflect changes among colleges anduniversities.
