Research Opportunities for 2YC Geoscience Students Through a Partnership with a 4YC Gretchen L. Miller and Adrianne A. Leinbach Natural Sciences Department Teaching For Diversity REC Center Medium Ice Overlook Room Thursday, July 16, 2015, 2:00 PM Earth Educators’ Rendezvous – Boulder, CO

About Wake Tech Largest community college in North Carolina – Over 28,000 curriculum students – Approximately 49% are minorities Introductory Geology at Wake Tech – 8 full-time, 3 adjunct faculty – ~700 students per semester – Approximately 31% minorities over last 3 years

Partnership with NC State University National Science Foundation (NSF) Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences (OEDG) grant: Diversity in the Geosciences, Making a Pathway to Success – Wake Tech students participate in paid summer research internships at NC State – Students present their research projects at a poster session at the end of the summer – Program has been very successful in first 4 years This work partially supported by the National Science Foundation award GEO Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.

Recruiting and Supporting Majors at Wake Tech All Wake Tech faculty actively involved – Identifying students in introductory geoscience courses with interest and aptitude – Individual mentoring of interested students Maintain list – Scholarships and internships – Career information & training opportunities – Speakers & field trips

Support with Transfer Process Most Wake Tech geoscience majors transfer to NC State University due to proximity Many students start taking geoscience classes at NC State while still completing A.S. degree at Wake Tech

Research Applicants Number of Applicants Students Matched to Research Project Students Completing Research Project8812 In progress Diverse Applicant Pool: Racial/Ethnic Minority Female First Generation Military Veteran Non-Traditional

Success Stories Students from first summer starting to graduate from 4YCs with geoscience degree One student from first summer has been mentoring new students each year – Just accepted to graduate program at NC State and overseeing some aspects of this program 6 students from summer 2014 working on projects again this summer – Many mentoring the new students

Students Taking Ownership Program successful because of students Students want to display posters at other venues & share experiences Community developing among students – Especially took off with students from summer 2014 research projects
