California State University Fullerton will conduct a three-day regional conference focused on the STEM education ecosystem at Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) to identify the most critical challenges and opportunities in STEM undergraduate education and actionable solutions that may be relevant to the mission of the National Science Foundation. The conference is framed and guided by a theoretical model that integrates social cognitive career theory and prior literature on factors related to minority students' academic choices and outcomes. The conference will host 80 participants from eight critical stakeholder groups to discuss six themes: (1) Preparing pre-college students - gaps in and opportunities for entering STEM majors, (2) Transforming the first-year college experience - innovative educational technology and inclusive pedagogies for student learning and retention in STEM, (3) Smoothing transitions from two- to four-year HSIs - opportunities and challenges for institutional partnerships, (4) Building coalitions among stakeholders in undergraduate research experience - opportunities and challenges for student persistence, (5) Removing academic barriers - gaps and opportunities for academic remediation, and (6) Sustaining ecosystems at HSI campuses - social and cultural inclusiveness for student success. The conference will use the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) methodology to guide the panel discussions of the six conference themes, each representing an aspect in the STEM education process in the ecosystem. Using this approach, participants will develop a shared vision for change and innovation by focusing on HSIs' greatest assets, capabilities, capacities, and resources to create new possibilities for student success. The expected deliverable is a comprehensive report that will serve as an evidence-based synthesis to support the establishment of a center for undergraduate STEM education at HSIs. The event is intended also to result in coalitions of partners to continue discussions about improving STEM undergraduate education at HSIs.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

加州州立大学富勒顿分校将举办为期三天的区域会议，重点关注西班牙裔服务机构 (HSIs) 的 STEM 教育生态系统，以确定 STEM 本科教育中最关键的挑战和机遇，以及可能与国家使命相关的可行解决方案。科学基金会。该会议以理论模型为框架和指导，该模型整合了社会认知职业理论和有关少数族裔学生学业选择和结果相关因素的先前文献。会议将邀请来自八个关键利益相关群体的 80 名与会者讨论六个主题：(1) 为大学预科学生做好准备 - 进入 STEM 专业的差距和机会，(2) 改变大学一年级体验 - 创新教育技术和包容性STEM 学生学习和保留的教学法，(3) 从两年制 HSI 顺利过渡到四年制 HSI - 机构伙伴关系的机遇和挑战，(4) 在本科生研究经验的利益相关者之间建立联盟 - 机遇和挑战(5) 消除学术障碍——学术补习的差距和机会；(6) 维持 HSI 校园的生态系统——社会和文化包容性，以促进学生的成功。 会议将使用欣赏式探究（AI）方法来指导六个会议主题的小组讨论，每个主题代表生态系统中 STEM 教育过程的一个方面。使用这种方法，参与者将通过关注 HSI 最大的资产、能力、能力和资源，制定变革和创新的共同愿景，为学生的成功创造新的可能性。预期交付成果是一份综合报告，作为基于证据的综合报告，支持在 HSI 建立本科 STEM 教育中心。该活动还旨在形成合作伙伴联盟，继续讨论改善 HSI 的 STEM 本科教育。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
