Participation in the STEM PUSH Network will support the continuous improvement of your programming while creating a mechanism to benefit your students’ postsecondary pathways.
Local and regional STEM ecosystems will serve an important role in this work by identifying additional PCSPs in their urban area and connecting PCSPs involved in the STEM PUSH Network with equity-focused higher education institutions, educational organizations, and corporations committed to broadening the participation of underrepresented groups.
Local and regional STEM ecosystems can also provide opportunities for STEM PUSH Network participants to share their learning with the entire local or regional ecosystem. As the accreditation process develops, local and regional ecosystems will help to brand the process with higher education institutions to create market demand for both PCSP participation and institutionalization in admissions.
How do we stop leaks in the STEM pipeline, especially for POC students, English learners, & students experiencing poverty?
Cassandra Brentley, @PittCUE & Pulling Brilliance Out in STEM, shares that one way is through independent learning. #RemakeLearning https://remakelearning.org/blog/2021/07/14/stem-pipeline-independent-learners/
Congratulations to Aaron at @CCAS_NEIU, one of the PCSPs in our Network, for being selected to join the next class of @ChicagoCouncil's Emerging Leaders!
The @ChicagoCouncil is proud to announce the Emerging Leaders Class of 2022!
Over the next year, the 19 members of the 13th class of Emerging Leaders Program will deepen their understanding of global affairs and strengthen their leadership skills. Details here:
Our Network members are in the middle of the summer Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) cycles! Most have planned how they will implement the new routine or tools in their programming & are currently in the "Do" stage. We're excited to share results from the improvement groups this fall!
It is so great to welcome students back into the lab! Gene Team is coming to Pitt in their small groups to investigate microbial biodiversity and we couldn’t be happier to see them in person!

This NSF INCLUDES Alliance is funded by NSF Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES), a comprehensive national initiative to enhance U.S. leadership in discoveries and innovations by focusing on diversity, inclusion and broadening participation in STEM at scale. It is also co-funded by the NSF Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program and the Advancing Informal STEM Learning Program (AISL).
