Program Rationale
CSULB was designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution in 2005 Current Latino student enrollment is 30.8%
Current programs like Research Initiative for Science Enhancement (RISE) and Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) select from a small pool of URMs with high academic standing Does not address the needs of minority students
who are at most risk for attrition, based on academic performance

Goal
Summer Bridge to The Beach
9-week research program to facilitate transfer students’ transition from the community colleges to the CSULB campus.
Winter Research Experience
2-week research experience to ignite students’ interest in research.
The overall aim is to increase the number of Latino students attaining degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), by increasing academic performance and retention.

Objectives
Research experience should increase: each student’s ability to apply content and skills
learned in the classroom to research, their understanding of the research process and
the notion that science is a creative process that advances further knowledge,
their knowledge of ethical conduct in their field, and
their ability to interpret results in research and draw conclusions.

“Actually being in a research lab motivates you to continue working hard in your classes and feel like you are contributing to science.” (Male, Science Major)
“ I believe it’s a fantastic experience to be part of and it helps you get to know professors and other individuals that help your future become more possible by introducing you to the many opportunities out there.” (Female, Science Major)
“This experience gives a great understanding of what a student’s strengths and weaknesses are in their field of study. Also gives an opportunity for networking.”(Female, Engineering Major)
“It helped me boost my motivation and encouraged me to keep being a science major. I enjoyed that I had other undergraduates with me and how my professor explained and answered all my questions until I understood what we were doing and why.” (Female, Science Major)

Conclusion
Both research programs show promising results Follow up data will be obtained from the Office
of Institutional Research at the end of each academic year to track academic progress and retention.
To date several students have continued in the lab with the faculty they were matched with
- Students have presented at local and national conferences, and have also co-authored manuscripts
