Abstract:
On June 7, 2011, the Massachusetts Academy of Sciences (MAS) and the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education (DHE) co-sponsored a forum on the role of higher education (HE) science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) faculty in achieving excellence in STEM education outcomes for all Massachusetts students. The forum began a conversation that focused on actions that the community of STEM faculty can and should take which will have the most immediate and lasting impact on students and STEM educators.
