that is built, that you
see around you, that grows,

00:00:05.820 --> 00:00:09.640 align:middle line:84%
that lives is all science,
technology, engineering,

00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.237 align:middle line:90%
and mathematics.

Our faculty are coming
from various backgrounds.

00:00:28.845 --> 00:00:30.220 align:middle line:84%
They bring that
to the classroom.

00:00:30.220 --> 00:00:32.720 align:middle line:84%
They help the students
understand what the field is

00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:34.060 align:middle line:90%
like, what comes next.

00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:36.658 align:middle line:84%
And they're helping students
really connect the dots

00:00:36.658 --> 00:00:38.200 align:middle line:84%
where they're at
and link it to where

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:39.420 align:middle line:90%
they're headed in the future.

MARYLINE CHEMAMA:
Our faculty actually

00:00:41.003 --> 00:00:42.640 align:middle line:84%
bring years of
research and industry

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.560 align:middle line:84%
experience directly
into the classroom.

MADELYN SALBATO: The
faculty and staff

00:00:46.143 --> 00:00:48.900 align:middle line:84%
make me feel very comfortable
and safe when I'm on campus.

00:00:48.900 --> 00:00:49.860 align:middle line:90%
I feel seen here.

00:00:49.860 --> 00:00:51.460 align:middle line:84%
Professors actually
know my name.

00:00:51.460 --> 00:00:53.560 align:middle line:84%
ERIK KOLB: We build
belonging first.

00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.620 align:middle line:84%
Learning accelerates
when students feel known.

OSCAR MORENO: If I
ever need anything,

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.197 align:middle line:84%
the staff usually helps me
out with anything I need.

with students every day about,

00:01:04.780 --> 00:01:06.620 align:middle line:84%
hey, what are you
interested in, hey, oh,

00:01:06.620 --> 00:01:08.287 align:middle line:84%
you need to talk to
this faculty member,

00:01:08.287 --> 00:01:09.393 align:middle line:90%
or let's go to counseling.

00:01:09.393 --> 00:01:12.060 align:middle line:84%
MADELYN SALBATO: I know exactly
which classes get me to my goal.

00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:13.920 align:middle line:84%
ERIK KOLB: We've
redesigned gateways

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.622 align:middle line:84%
so more students
succeed the first time.

MARYLINE CHEMAMA:
Our STEM students

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:20.260 align:middle line:84%
benefit from a strong
support network.

00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:22.480 align:middle line:84%
This includes the
STEM Success Center,

00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.700 align:middle line:84%
supplemental instruction,
tutoring, faculty office hours,

00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:28.753 align:middle line:84%
STEM counselors,
and student clubs.

00:01:28.753 --> 00:01:30.920 align:middle line:84%
OSCAR MORENO: The support
that my professors give me

00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.428 align:middle line:84%
whenever I need help with
anything, they'll help me out,

00:01:33.428 --> 00:01:35.220 align:middle line:84%
they'll give me any
suggestions I may need.

00:01:35.220 --> 00:01:35.960 align:middle line:84%
MADELYN SALBATO:
Tutoring workshops

00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:37.680 align:middle line:84%
and quick replies
kept me on track.

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.980 align:middle line:84%
ROKHSAR ETABAR: The counselors,
the tutors, they're all amazing.

00:01:40.980 --> 00:01:43.100 align:middle line:84%
Anytime when I
have any questions,

00:01:43.100 --> 00:01:46.180 align:middle line:84%
I usually reach out to them
and they're really helpful.

00:01:46.180 --> 00:01:49.060 align:middle line:84%
ERIK KOLB: Tutoring, office
hours, success centers,

00:01:49.060 --> 00:01:50.940 align:middle line:84%
they are right there
when students need it.

00:01:50.940 --> 00:01:53.100 align:middle line:90%
[GENTLE MUSIC]

00:01:53.100 --> 00:01:54.600 align:middle line:84%
JEFF LAGUNA: We're
basically looking

00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:58.640 align:middle line:84%
to the pathways that come
after that involves transfer

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.620 align:middle line:84%
to other colleges
and universities.

00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:03.460 align:middle line:84%
And then we're also
looking at employers,

00:02:03.460 --> 00:02:05.720 align:middle line:84%
where are our students
going to end up afterwards.

00:02:05.720 --> 00:02:09.440 align:middle line:84%
ERIK KOLB: We map our curriculum
to real career and transfer

00:02:09.440 --> 00:02:10.259 align:middle line:90%
outcomes.

00:02:10.259 --> 00:02:13.060 align:middle line:84%
So our students, when they
get this core foundation,

00:02:13.060 --> 00:02:16.240 align:middle line:84%
can then translate that
into future careers

00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:17.842 align:middle line:90%
or have partnerships already.

00:02:17.842 --> 00:02:19.800 align:middle line:84%
JEFF LAGUNA: The benefit
then of this community

00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.760 align:middle line:84%
is that it allows students
access to opportunities,

00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:25.400 align:middle line:84%
opportunities both
within 性视界

00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.080 align:middle line:90%
as well as outside of 性视界.

00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.840 align:middle line:84%
ERIK KOLB: It takes hard work,
just like anything in life.

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.400 align:middle line:84%
But we're always there
being cheerleaders for them

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.560 align:middle line:84%
and just letting them know that
they can do it, no matter what.
