Abstract
ABSTRACT Undergraduate research experiences can have a positive impact on student retention and success in STEM, but are not widely available to community college students. Yet, the role of community colleges in producing STEM graduates, especially Latinx students, is overlooked and likely underestimated. A program designed to attract and retain Latinx STEM majors needs to do more than just provide opportunity and access. This study examines a successful community college undergraduate research experience designed with Latinx students in mind. We describe the program, provide evidence to document its efficacy, and identify essential components that draw, retain, and propel Latinx community college students in STEM.
