Description

Using a multiple case study approach and organizational theory, this study tracks the life cycle of the Chancellor’s Science Scholars program at UNC-Chapel Hill and the Millennium Scholars Program at Penn State (University Park) two STEMM intervention programs (SIPs) modeled after the nationally successful Meyerhoff Scholars Program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. This study provides important practical and theoretical implications regarding implementing, adapting, sustaining, and institutionalizing SIPs seeking to cultivate inclusive science environments.
