The certificate program is designed to support faculty in adopting teaching practices that foster the retention of students in STEM majors and support the development of their students as STEM professionals. The program is open to all instructional faculty who teach courses in the Colleges of Natural and Mathematical Sciences or Engineering and Information Technology and is funded by the Colleges, the FDC, and the NIH-funded STEM BUILD at UMBC initiative. All faculty participating in the certificate program are encouraged to attend the kickoff. Lunch is provided.
