The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU) has invited the Edvance Foundation to participate in Project Kaleidoscope.  On Wednesday, May 9, 2012, the Nexpectation Network’s Executive Director, Kurt Thiede, will attend a roundtable meeting of higher ed leaders to discuss key features of replicable and scalable models for STEM student success, emphasizing general education and entry into STEM baccalaureate programs.  Funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Project Kaleidoscope is aimed at “advancing what works in STEM education” and will help to ramp up STEM success and pathways for STEM student transfer.
