• Connect students with faculty members who are working on research or teaching projects in their area of interest and expose students to undergraduate research and teaching opportunities at CWU.
• Provide students with experiences that will help them to excel in their STEM academics and future STEM careers.
• Continue academic advising, mentoring, tutoring, and social support opportunities for STEM students at CWU throughout their academic careers.
