Student Relationship

This article describes the infusion of the bioscience/biotechnology program at Delaware Technical Community College with course-based and mentored research experiences, which may serve as a model for other institutions. Studies done with the Office of Institutional Research revealed a concurrent increase in enrollment and graduation rates. Interviews with program graduates highlight the critical influence of research, the mentor-student relationship, and a sense of community.

Undergraduate Research Experiences

This vignette discusses the impacts of undergraduate research experiences on the students of Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC) through models for course and summer undergraduate research experiences (CURE, SURE). For the CURE, NWTC instructors have joined the Tiny Earth Initiative (n.d.), a network of students and instructors that focuses on student sourcing of antibiotics from soil. A SURE was created in which students commit to an internship in virology research of 8 hours a week.

Pipeline Project

Faculty in STEM and administrators at the NCC-Monroe Campus recognized the importance of undergraduate research experiences as high-impact teaching practices but were realistic about the limitations of a two-year institution. As community and institutional partnerships are important in the creation of long-standing programs, faculty sought a community grant from a local pharmaceutical company, which provided the first NCC Stem Pipeline Project for 2016–2018.
