Project aims to smooth STEM students’ path from 2-year to 4-year institutions

School of Computing faculty Leen-Kiat Soh and Brittany Duncan are part of a University of Nebraska–Lincoln team that is leading a 22-institution research collaboration aimed at smoothing the transitions of students at two-year colleges to four-year colleges.

With a five-year, $3 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the team will conduct research aimed at filling a critical gap in the national understanding of what it takes to help transfer students succeed. Nebraska, whose share of the award is nearly $1.5 million, will headquarter one of four new research hubs.
