Education, 2023AbstractIt is well-known that first-generation and low-income students are less likely to succeed andpersist in college than their more affluent peers. To help address this, a non-profit was founded toprovide support to these students. The organization houses the Tutor Training FellowshipProgram where Tutor Fellows receive three-fold support in the form of tutor training, workexperience, and scholarship. The work experience comes in the form of free tutoring to low-income middle and high school students. Additional support is provided through free mentalhealth counseling and professional development workshops. Through this program, students alsofind a community of similar students who support each other through graduation and

CaseStudies, Cohort A faculty from general education disciplines neither prioritize career orwork-related topics and employer interactions during their courses, nor do they have connectionswith WCC Career Services and associated career development resources. The exception inCohort A is the cybersecurity faculty, who found Module 1.3 and 2.1 useful and implemented theactivity from Module 1.3, to bring in local employers to speak with their students about careersat their company. Looking forward to recruitment of Cohort C, the team believes that a moreeven mix of both types of faculty will be helpful in learning from each other, as faculty teachinggeneral education STEM disciplines also have students pursuing technician careers in theirclasses, and

As aresult, the classic mentor-based research model in which undergraduates gain experiencesworking with graduate students in an established research lab is not generally a viable model forcommunity colleges. Consequently, most undergraduate research opportunities for communitycollege engineering students involve partnerships with universities and typically take the form ofpaid summer experiences. Even then, many students have limited ability to relocate for summerprograms due to other commitments such as family.Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) offer an alternative model withpotential for significant expansion of research opportunities for students.

For example, researchers first subdivided the writing prompt by questionsas it had multiple questions within a prompt. Then each question received one quantity scorepoint. Each question also received a quality score, which was determined by the type of question.For example, questions that asked students to just mention an experience relevant to the questionwere scored out of one quality point. Questions that asked students to discuss how the topic wasrelevant in general, but not necessarily specific to their personal lives (i.e., could be answeredhypothetically), were scored out of two quality points.
