Building a Research Infrastructure for the Sciences at Bennett College

Abstract

The current proposal, Building a Research Infrastructure for the Sciences at Bennett College, is designed to build upon the College's established mission of preparing women to become productive leaders in a technologically-advanced global society. This proposal seeks to provide new capabilities for faculty to conduct research as well as to train and prepare students to enter into STEM fields. More specifically, once funded and implemented, the proposal will: (1) allow for new capabilities of current and future faculty to engage in on-campus research, enabling mentoring and training of students; (2) offer an opportunity to integrate research in laboratory extensive courses that will also enhance the curricula as well as increase the percentage of underrepresented minority females seeking graduate level STEM degrees; (3) provide an outreach mechanism to enhance science education for the Early/Middle College students located on Bennett College's campus.
