The (STEM)² Network focuses on the pivotal role of faculty in restructuring undergraduate STEM education with the mission of providing an equitable and inclusive system for all students.

The overarching goals for the Network are to:

1. 1. Enhance undergraduate STEM education by promoting new and strengthening existing collaborations among biology, chemistry, and math faculty at two- and four-year institutions; and

   2. Support faculty in transforming undergraduate STEM education from within the current system.

To achieve these goals, the Network’s activities:

1. 1. Promote collaboration between two- and four-year institutions through inter-institutional Working Groups;

   2. Create enduring pedagogical collaborations across STEM disciplines through interdisciplinary institutional groups; and

   3. Empower individual faculty to create change in and beyond their classrooms.

Various areas of focus have emerged from discussions among Network participants - each tackling undergraduate STEM education from different perspectives. Participants self-select into multidisciplinary, multi-institution Working Groups to develop projects related to their area of interest.
