The selected candidate will work directly with iSTEM within the EXCEL/COMPASS program. The mission of EXCEL/COMPASS is to increase success in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) during a student’s transition to college by connecting UCF students, faculty, and STEM disciplines while creating a learning community to support discovery and engagement. EXCEL/COMPASS is structured to help students hone their math skills to easily master material in their STEM discipline. For more information about EXCEL/COMPASS visit https://excel.ucf.edu/.
