Abstract

To address concern for a lack of qualified applicants for STEM related positions in the State of Washington, Washington State University and the University of Washington partnered to create the Washington STate Academic RedShirt Program (STARS). Based on the University of Colorado's GoldShirt Program, STARS provides a support structure for incoming first year engineering students through specialized curriculum, intrusive advising, and community. Results and best practices observed thus far are presented.
