For example, members of the career readiness team designed a Virtual Career Fair program that brought 70\u00a0employers including AT&amp;T, Verizon and The Mayo Clinic along with over 1,800 students\/alumni for over 700 career related discussions. Campus workshops and career resources that were specific to each campus were also made available to all students from Florida Consortium universities.<\/p>\n<p>Also noteworthy, 75 science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) faculty investigated and developed a lengthy list of improvements that included:<\/p>\n<li>A STEM First-Year Experience course and summer Bootcamp to help STEM majors succeed in introductory science and math courses<\/li>\n<li>The team also proposed a proficiency exam for pre-calculus and stretching Calculus over two semesters because Calculus is often \u201cthe\u201d barrier to advancing in STEM fields of study<\/li>\n<li>The group also took a critical look at General Chemistry course requirements to help prepare students to succeed in Organic Chemistry, another important course for STEM fields of study<\/li>\n<p>During the first year, the Communications Departments from Florida Consortium member universities joined forces to weigh the benefits of offering summer courses on each other\u2019s campuses, course alignment, and ways to grant early access to graduate communications programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIdentifying barriers and sharing insights on student intervention programs could be game changers for our students, our regions and our state at large.
