Additional Cohort Activities During Junior Year 7. Recruitment 8. Data Management - Data Integrity/Privacy 9. Mentoring Study

NSF Response 10. Elaboration on How Gathered Data Will Influence the Direction of the Project 11. Scope of Professional Development Seminar 12. Credit for Research (and Other) Activities

NSF Response 1. Timeline: Detailed Outline AY Spring 2014: Advertising and Recruitment: Construct SPMF webpages at TTU, MC, OC and MCC Contact ESC 17 & ESC 18 Centers & STEM teachers in ESC 17 & ESC 18 districts Contact outreach program participants, including: o TTU TexPREP program students o TTU Emmy Noether High School Day (ENHSD)

NSF Response 2.Management Plan: Detailed Outline TaskLead Faculty Webpage Construction Pearce, Cohlmia, Wade, Kaatz Contact ESC Regions Dwyer Contact Outreach Program Participants Dwyer, Williams Receive/Process Applications Williams, Cohlmia, Wade, Kaatz

NSF Response 4.Connections with Local Employers We have placed students in internships with employers such as Lewis and Lewis (Richardson, TX) and recent graduates with companies such as nQativ (Lubbock, TX), Raytheon (Dallas, TX), Pursuant (Dallas, TX), Allegiant Wealth Management- MassMutual (Dallas, TX), Qualtrics (Provo, UT). One component of the proposal was to establish an advisory board with members of the board from regional companies where we have placed interns and/or graduates.

Current Status

 Recruitment  “University” vs “Community College”  Finding students with financial need  Transfer students
