                  Why More STEM Classes Won’t Help Solve the Serious STEM Achievement Gap

                  But what if this achievement gap can’t be solved by more STEM classes?

                  Creativity drives Innovation

                  Liberal Arts Education Benefits Democratic Society

                  With the knowledge and preparation that a liberal arts education provides, students become better citizens and communities more successful.

                  Redeploying Faculty For Student Success

                  “The first courses that incoming freshmen take must be ones that motivate them, engage them in real learning, keep them on track when (for a multiplicity of reasons) they go off track, and give them a sense of belonging and purpose.”   –Sue Henderson, president of New Jersey City University, and James Muyskens, former president of Queens College.

                  Why STEM needs Liberal Arts

                  Can liberal arts and STEM co-exist? The marketplace is demanding it. [/fruitful_tab] [fruitful_tab title=”Events: Theatre, Dance & Art”]
