Upper-Division

Students learn practical ways of maximizing the resources of a public education and research institution. Students collaborate across disciplines, broaden impacts of higher learning, and develop strategies for effective interaction with faculty and the broader professional communities to which they aspire.

Students learn models for increased accessibility and efficacy in higher education, and prepare to lead through those models within transfer student- and reentry student-focused communities; engage in dialogue about university policy; identify structural barriers faced by minoritized and other disadvantaged communities when pursuing higher education; collaboratively design projects to address them; implement and lead civic-engagement activities; and reflect on personal experience and knowledge to meet student-defined goals. With additional guidance from the STARS director and STARS staff, interns create plans and help to implement projects that reflect the learning of the course. (Formerly Internship Course: Services for Transfer And Reentry Students.)
