Year 2 Report for Preparation for Expanding Equitable Pathways to In-Demand STEM Careers at Hispanic Serving Institution
Jianjun Wang
Grantee Submission
California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) continues its five-year grant, "An Equitable Pathway to In-Demand STEM Careers," that began in Fall 2021 to facilitate Hispanic students' degree completion and career preparation in STEM fields. In the second year, the grant team has made satisfactory progress in offering summer and winter research opportunities and establishing year-round mentorship programs. Career talks, bilingual parent workshops, and a summit of high school counselors were held to support equitable pathway expansion. Two important positions (an Outreach/Community College Liaison and an Academic Advisor) were filled, and the budget allocation was adjusted to minimize the impact of the labor shortage on personnel hiring. The evaluation design is guided by a well-established model of Results-Based Accountability for program evaluation under Title III of the Higher Education Act. The report concludes with a review of past recommendations and an introduction of new recommendations for strengthening the program's "servingness" in the third year.
