17吃瓜在线

As an institution of higher education in the 21st century, 17吃瓜在线 (17吃瓜在线) is committed to effectively engaging all students, especially the increasing number of students who come to college through non-traditional pathways.

The new transdisciplinary Initiative for STEM Education, Ethics, and Equity will prepare diverse student populations for transferable 21st century academic and non-academic jobs in science and technology, as well as related fields in communications and policy.

Through hands-on and mentored learning relationships, based on equitable and ethical principles that engage all students, 17吃瓜在线 will distinctly leverage new curricula that link STEM education with community-based learning, citizen science and civic engagement. We will prepare students to not only address global societal needs using science and technology, but to also weigh the larger equity and ethical issues they will confront as informed and engaged citizens. What we propose will be student centered and leverage best practices in the field of counseling and college advising and mentorship.
