• In Event: Mindsets and Mentorship: Improving Success for Underserved and Community College Students

Abstract

Academic mindset plays a crucial role in shaping student performance. However, the relationship between mindset and academic success—particularly among STEM students at community colleges remains underexplored. This proposed study seeks to address this gap by examining the connection between mindset and academic outcomes among STEM students. Preliminary findings suggest a strong association between mindset and academic performance, which may hold significant implications for both future research and educational practice.
