What are students saying about the Zone?
“[The most valuable aspect is] the opportunity to struggle through and solve problems with peers.”
“It is a space dedicated specifically for STEM, so it is a very focused environment to study in. It also develops a STEM community at Wooster.”
More Information
STEM Zone spaces and Zone Interns are resources offered by the STEM Success Initiative (SSI), whose mission is to empower Wooster STEM faculty, staff, and students in cultivating an inclusive STEM community to better support the academic success and STEM identity development for students from historically underrepresented groups. The SSI is a means to help faculty and staff do a better job of supporting the persistence and retention of all students.
