Using research-tested approaches, we are building community and interactions among STEM faculty and students, connecting community college and VCU faculty to partner in sharing important observations about the cultural and educational backgrounds of transfer students, and introducing new and more inclusive ways of valuing diversity, all with the ultimate goal of changing the instructional and administrative infrastructure and climate of VCU to enhance student success.
