The University of Illinois Chicago has received a five-year, $2.9 million grant through a National Science Foundation program aimed at enhancing the quality of undergraduate STEM education at Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Led by the Learning Sciences Research Institute at UIC, the award will fund a new initiative to investigate barriers to student success in science, technology, engineering and math degree programs and develop new curriculum and teaching innovations that promote student engagement and retention in related undergraduate courses. The project will feature a collaboration of up to 70 faculty representing 11 departments based in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering. The faculty will work with the UIC’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Engagement, Student Affairs; and the Center for the Advancement of Teaching Excellence. The project will establish a certificate credential in inclusive teaching with professional development resources that will be disseminated to faculty across the nation interested in strategies fostering students’ sense of belonging, promoting their academic success in STEM classrooms and supporting their timely degree completion in STEM.
