The higher education STEM ecosystem is shaped by decentralized infrastructures leading to questions of what STEM is, and institutional practices that predetermine who belongs. These misaligned structures lead to issues that small-scale, isolated interventions cannot fix. This opening session of the series urges a paradigm shift away from piecemeal interventions toward institutional transformation at scale, and will set the framework for future sessions addressing various factors impacting STEM student success.
