Minnesota Showcase
May 27, 2010
The showcase was a culminating event near the end of the academic year done jointly
with the STEM Equity Pipeline Project and the New Look Project at Saint Paul College
along with the Academic and Student Affairs Conference. This showcase event was
a space where consortia (pilot sites) presented their work from the past year. They
prepared presentations, typically consisting of tri-folds with artifacts (e.g.,
things they developed), and shared and discussed their results and activities. Additional
training was provided on aspects of the Five Step Program Improvement Process.
