About this episode

Identity as a scientist and entrepreneurial thinking are critical for students of STEM to succeed, both in their college-based education and their careers. In recognition of this, a team of researchers from North Carolina Central University has developed DREAM STEM – a program that aims to develop scientific identity and a mindset for entrepreneurial thinking. This, in turn, improves enrollment, retention, persistence and graduation rates.
