This study is to evaluate LSAMP and its impact on CUNY students and has received CUNY-wide IRB approval and special approval to use iPods during recruitment efforts. This research seeks to identify the most significant factors that influence the recruitment, retention and graduation of students who major in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). It is important to begin informing students about this exciting research.

 

All CUNY students, who have a history of majoring in a STEM discipline, are encouraged to complete the survey. Participants will be able to sign up for the on-line questionnaire by going to the LSAMP website. Students may also be emailed a direct link to the on-line questionnaire. Because all collected data will be completely anonymous, this research serves as an excellent opportunity for CUNY students to voice their concerns. Furthermore, the results of this study will identify which factors strengthen or weaken the success of CUNY students with STEM majors--especially, underrepresented minority students.

Greetings Ms. Woodhill:

 

              Sorry to bother you, but I was sent this very interesting survey by one of our graduate students, Adashima Muhammad. MPH who aims to investigate the factors of retention and success in students who are majoring in STEM areas in CUNY. Although the target is to have students who are STEM majors completing the survey, at this moment Adashima is being flexible in acepting other majors completing the survey as well. Please find the letter directed to faculty members and the survey flyer itself with direct link to the survey, after completing at least 50 reponses, I will  schedule a raffle day to win an Ipod touch. Could please send this survey to your students. As always,Thank you.
