<p>The book <em>Community Colleges And Stem: Examining Underrepresented Racial And Ethnic Minorities</em> by R. T. Palmer & J. L. Wood, emphasizes various aspects of the role of community colleges in promoting URM students success in STEM. This book advances the discourse about enrollment, persistence and achievement for URM students in STEM as well as promising strategies that can enhance URM students' academic achievement and expereinces at community colleges. - Yu "April" Chen, Postdoctoral Research Associate, Iowa State University</p>

As United States policymakers and national leaders are increasing their attention to producing workers skilled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), community colleges are being called on to address persistence of minorities in these disciplines. In this important volume, contributors discuss the role of community colleges in facilitating access and success to racial and ethnic minority students in STEM. Chapters explore how community colleges can and do facilitate the STEM pipeline, as well as the experiences of these students in community college, including how psychological factors, developmental coursework, expertiential learning, and motivation affect student success. Community Colleges and STEM ultimately provides recommendations to help increase retention and persistence. This important book is a crucial resource for higher education institutions and community colleges as they work to advance success among racial and ethnic minorities in STEM education.
