Webinar Description
Undergraduate field experiences (UFEs) play an important role in retaining learners in STEM, and provide critical training for career development. Yet, community college students face many barriers to participation in UFEs. Designing UFE models of engagement that are accessible is critical for involving community college students in field education. In this webinar, we share three different programming models implemented in a field research internship for community college students in Los Angeles over the past several years and discuss the benefits and challenges of each for both participating students and program facilitators. We will then facilitate a discussion about the current practices and future needs of community college faculty in providing UFEs.
Webinar Goals
- Learn about the needs and challenges of CC faculty around providing field research experiences for students
- Identify potential partners for a research proposal
