STEM - Oakton Recruiting and Retaining Students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)

With a significant grant from the National Science Foundation, Oakton's Center for Promoting STEM (CP-STEM) offers diverse activities including a summer "bridge" program; peer tutor training; student-industry-teacher simulations; study sessions; seminars; and field trips. The New York Times recently cited Oakton among the top-ten community colleges in the nation and called attention to CP-STEM. In

addition, the Peer Tutor Training and Student-Industry-Teacher Simulations programs captured the Innovation Award from the Illinois Council of Community College Administrators in 2003 and 2005 respectively. Built and expanded upon previously successful project, the Center for Promoting STEM (CP-STEM, DUE-0622329) at Oakton Community College was established in 2006 to increase the number of students who pursue studies and receive a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. The goals of CP-STEM are:
• To encourage and enhance student success in STEM courses;
• To strengthen an existing supportive and rewarding learning environment for students and faculty;
• To contribute to the literature on teaching and learning through program assessment;
• To distribute the successful results of CP-STEM activities.
