EMBARC (Educational Modules to Broaden Academic Research Cultures)
Welcome to EMBARC!
Funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and housed at the CSUN Health Equity Research and Education (HERE) Center, EMBARC (Educational Modules to Broaden Academic Research Cultures) is a peer-led program for pre-transfer community college students in the STEMM fields. The program prepares students for academic and research opportunities through professional skill development, transfer resources, and community building. Through a series of workshops and mentorship rooted in Community Cultural Wealth (CCW) frameworks that embrace students鈥� family upbringing and cultural strengths, EMBARC aims to support community college students as they navigate聽聽and their transition to four-year institutions.
Why EMBARC?
EMBARC stands for Educational Modules to Broaden Academic Research Cultures. 鈥淓mbark鈥� also means, 鈥渢o begin a journey.鈥� Through the lens of CCW, we focus on the strengths students bring from their families and communities to science. At EMBARC, we believe 鈥渂eginning one鈥檚 journey鈥� in science through such frameworks will foster harmonization between home and academic cultures and enable students to draw meaning to their science courses and activities.
