Massasoit STEM Core Beliefs

Co-Cur­ric­u­lar Learn­ing Environment

We aim to enhance the cur­ric­u­la of STEM pro­grams by pro­vid­ing a vari­ety of stu­dent sup­port and co-cur­ric­u­lar oppor­tu­ni­ties, as well as increas­ing fel­low­ship and col­lab­o­ra­tion among stu­dents, alum­ni, fac­ul­ty, and staff. This pro­vides stu­dents with a rich learn­ing envi­ron­ment to grow and hone their skills.

 

Enhanc­ing Soft Skills

We focus on improv­ing the soft skills of stu­dents that are essen­tial for suc­cess in STEM fields. Stu­dents will learn self-direc­tion, prob­lem-solv­ing, col­lab­o­ra­tion, crit­i­cal think­ing, and com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills. By doing so, stu­dents become bet­ter equipped to suc­ceed in the pro­fes­sion­al world.

 

Research Oppor­tu­ni­ties

We endeav­or to con­duct mean­ing­ful research as a means to teach the process of sci­ence and inform sus­tain­abil­i­ty efforts at all scales. By par­tic­i­pat­ing in our intern­ship and jour­nal club, stu­dents gain real-world expe­ri­ence and learn the val­ue of research.

 

Sup­port­ing Diversity

We strive to cre­ate a cul­ture of inclu­siv­i­ty and ser­vice to the com­mu­ni­ty. Stu­dents of all ages and back­grounds are encour­aged to join our pro­gram and help give back to the community.

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowl­edge and dis­avow the forced removal, dis­en­fran­chise­ment, his­tor­i­cal era­sure, and geno­cide of the Indige­nous peo­ples who have been dis­pos­sessed, and align our­selves with the strug­gle Indige­nous peo­ple are engaged in for human rights and self-determination.
