Students are not only able to live on campus and take courses with like-minded peers, but STEMCats also allows incoming freshmen students to participate in research and connect with peers, upperclassmen, and professors. In this podcast, we talk with several Undergraduate Instructional Assistants, or UIA’s, who have been building connections with STEMCats freshmen through sharing their experiences.</p></div> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2014-11-10T15:44:55-05:00" title="Monday, November 10, 2014 - 03:44 pm">Mon, 11/10/2014 - 03:44 pm</time> </span> <ul class="links inline"><li><a href="/podcasts/stemcats-assisting-science" rel="tag" title="STEMCats: Assisting with Science " hreflang="en">Read more<span class="visually-hidden"> about STEMCats: Assisting with Science </span></a></li></ul> Mon, 10 Nov 2014 20:44:55 +0000 Anonymous 259395 at UK Awarded $1.9 Million to Improve Retention of STEM Majors /uk-awarded-19-million-improve-retention-stem-majors <span>UK Awarded $1.9 Million to Improve Retention of STEM Majors</span> <div><p>Howard Hughes Medical Institute funds five-year project to promote student achievement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, in collaboration with BCTC</p> </div> <span><span>brconn2</span></span> <span><time datetime="2014-06-03T10:12:50-04:00" title="Tuesday, June 3, 2014 - 10:12 am">Tue, 06/03/2014 - 10:12 am</time> </span> <ul class="links inline"><li><a href="/uk-awarded-19-million-improve-retention-stem-majors" rel="tag" title="UK Awarded $1.9 Million to Improve Retention of STEM Majors" hreflang="en">Read more<span class="visually-hidden"> about UK Awarded $1.9 Million to Improve Retention of STEM Majors</span></a></li></ul> Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:12:50 +0000 brconn2 244104 at Second Video in Kentucky EPSCoR Series Features VOEIS Project /second-video-kentucky-epscor-series-features-voeis-project <span>Second Video in Kentucky EPSCoR Series Features VOEIS Project</span> <div><p>In 2009, the Virtual Observatory And Ecological Informatics System (VOEIS) project was launched.
