"STEM Comm helped me become more confident on exams. The seminar taught us about skills and resources that become a formula for success throughout college. For me, the required study groups helped because I'm often too proud to go ask for help. But Stem Comm has helped me in so many more ways than just academically. I found an amazing group of people that are always willing to study with me, go get dinner or basically do anything social. I wish I could take STEM Comm for multiple classes because it's just an awesome group of people!"
"The community aspect of STEM Comm was the best part. ... It allowed us to know each other well, make friends, and build a strong sense of trust and companionship as well as giving us the option to work together."
"One of the best things about STEM Comm was talking with [my faculty mentor] about his career and how he got to where he is right now. I really enjoyed having a conversation with him, he gave great advice."
"I met my best friend in STEM Comm!"
"My success coach ... was really understanding and helpful in creating a plan for me to discover my major and stop procrastinating. She always made me feel as though it was possible to do better."
"I loved all the different skills we were able to learn about throughout the seminar and I feel like a more well rounded, reflective student because of it.”
"Sessions with panels of speakers … were the best. Being able to ask professionals and students who have gone through the same experience is extremely helpful and motivational.”
"The [co-curricular] learning opportunities really gave me the pressure/drive to explore majors and careers and contemplate on how this all fits into my life.”
"The best thing was ALA 270 [the community seminar] which allowed for developing friendships but also time to de-stress and reevaluate my goals and direction."
