This workshop is Sponsored by the STEM Articulation and Transfer (SATC) Program.

Funded by the National Science Foundation, the SATC Program is designed to advance the academic careers of Hispanic STEM students attending Palm Beach State College. This program focuses on chemistry and biology, which are essential STEM disciplines for the successful completion of FAU’s College of Science programs.

Students that participate in this program will receive free:

• Peer to peer tutoring in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics

• Professional Development opportunities such as FAU information sessions, UF Scripps Research Workshops, hands-on laboratory research experience

• Appreciative Academic Advising

• Regular Mental Wellness and Academic Progress Check-ins

The overall goal of this funded program is to diversify the STEM workforce by providing to minority students and increase the successful transfer of students from a two-year institution to a four-year institution, and their graduation with a four-year degree.

The SATC Program provides Palm Beach State College students the opportunity to participate in undergraduate research. PBSC has partnerships with the Max Planck and the Scripps Research Institute; students who participate in the undergraduate research program collaboarate with researchers from both institutes. Students who participate in the undergraduate research will have exposure to real life lab experiences and will have an advantage over their peers in future STEM courses. The program was first piloted in the Spring of 2021 on the Palm Beach Gardens Campus and during the summer of 2021 the program expanded to include the Boca Raton Campus. The Palm Beach Gardens Campus research program focused on molecular biology while the Boca Raton campus focused on chemistry. More opportunities will be available for students in future semesters.
