  3. Two-year Objectives: • Increase number of majors and graduates in “high-demand” STEM fields. • Develop an academic plan to provide infrastructure for supporting STEM faculty scholarship • Develop plan for a second science bldg • Increase funding from external grants and contracts

  4. President's Summer Fellows Award and Provost's Faculty Resource Fund • Faculty Development mini-grants continue to be awarded • Provost funds the upkeep of the NMR • Promote community awareness in STEM

  5. Five-year Objectives: • Increase the number of under-represented students in the STEM pipeline. • Continue to increase number of majors and graduates in “high-demand” STEM fields • Bring CI above the median CSU level of achievements in STEM disciplines • Completed request for a second science building

  6. Promote community awareness in STEM • Strengthen Early Assessment Program (EAP) High School Partnerships • Develop a coordinated STEM outreach program • Strengthen relationships with community college partners in STEM

  7. PROGRESS! • Increase number of majors and graduates in “high-demand” STEM fields. MAJORS INCREASED BY 2% GRADUATES INCREASED BY 1.5% • Develop an academic plan to provide infrastructure for supporting STEM faculty scholarship CONTINUING North Hall and West Hall
