SUMMARY:PAMS Seminar: "Research on Inclusive Practices: Supporting Two-Yea
 r College Transfer Students in the Physics Community" by Dr. Vashti Sawte
 lle
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Vashti SawtelleDepartment of Physics &amp; AstronomyLyman Brig
 gs CollegeMichigan State University\n\n\nAbstract:Two-year colleges enrol
 l almost half of the nation’s undergraduate students (AACC\, 2014). While
  nearly 40% enroll in STEM or health science degree programs (Van Noy &amp; Z
 eidenber\, 2014)\, only 29% of those who plan to earn a bachelor’s degree
  will do so within 6-years (Horn &amp; Skomsvold\, 2011). Two-year college st
 udents are also more likely to come from underrepresented groups\, low-in
 come households\, or first-generation backgrounds than students at four-y
 ear colleges (AACC\, 2014). Considerable research has shown a connection 
 between students’ confidence in their ability to perform well (also known
  as self-efficacy) and persistence in science fields. In this presentatio
 n I will describe what we know about supporting community college student
 s in pursuing physics and STEM pathways. I will also outline research on 
 a successful program that provides transitional support to community coll
 ege students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in STEM.\n\n\nThis seminar will
  be held exclusively on Zoom (955 5209 1021). Please visit the Physics Se
 minars page for a link.
