Abstract

Prior to Spring 2024, STEM students at Shepherd did not have a space of their own.  With funds from the First2 Network, the office of the Shepherd University President, and Shepherd University Facilities, a non-functional computer lab was renovated for student use.  This talk will focus on the development process and how having access to the space affects student’s sense of belonging.  The First2 Network is supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation under Award Numbers:  HRD-183-4586, WV Higher Energy Policy Commission; HRD-1834595, Green Bank Observatory; HRD-183-4575, Fairmont State University; HRD-1834595, High Rocks Educational Corporation; HRD-183-4569, West Virginia University.
