Wehave utilized the “Scientific Village” model, where students interacted as peers assisting,encouraging, holding each other accountable, and interacted with faculty mentors. Incorporatinghands-on research further stimulated and engaged students to enhance interest in STEMcurriculum and careers. This was a voluntary, three-year, mixed-method, hands-on researchprogram that tracked a cohort of 60 second-semester STEM students at Benedict College.

they werebetter able to communicate about the field of BMMB, p<0.04. Seventy-one percent of facultymentors who responded to the survey indicated their student produced data that could beincluded in a future publication. Out of the ten participants four are now enrolled in a graduateprogram, three are currently applying to one of our graduate programs involved in our REU, andanother three are not yet ready to graduate. Therefore, the first four students in our cohort toreceive their BS degrees are now enrolled in a graduate program contributing to an increase inrepresentation of underrepresented students. We will continue to track whether the remainingstudents ultimately apply to or enroll in our or another graduate program and the impact of
