Description/Abstract
The LEARN (Learning Environment and Academic Research Network) Consortium is a three institution, NSF-sponsored collaboration to study and create research learning communities, to impact STEM retention. This session will discuss the replicability of a first year STEM research community at two other institutions within the consortium. We will also outline how the core components (research engagement, tiered mentoring, and community building) have been adapted to meet the needs of an AA/AS transfer student population, and to accommodate different types of institutions. Evaluation and assessment data will be presented for Florida Atlantic University and Western Carolina University.
