The C-STEP ProgramDescription:Research C-STEP students participate in a one-to-one research project with a mentor from the BMCC faculty. The mentor and the student agree on a research project, and the student dedicates from 5-10 hours a week on the project. The student and the mentor meet on a regular basis through the semester. Every Research C-STEP student gives an oral presentation of his/her project at the end of the semester. In March, Research C-STEP students participate in the BMCC Scholars Day poster presentation. In order to participate in the C-STEP program, a student must be a member of an underrepresented minority (African American, Hispanic, or American Indian) or qualify by economic guidelines. Students must also maintain a 3.0 gpa, be a resident of New York state, and be a full-time degree-seeking student at BMCC. After the end of each semester, if all research and presentation requirements have been completed, Research C-STEP students receive a stipend. Students can also qualify to participate in a special C-STEP summer program. Prof. Abdramane Serme is currently the C-STEP coordinator for the math department. Students who are interested in participating in the program but who do not yet have a mentor, or faculty who are interested in mentoring students but who do not yet have a student to mentor, may contact Prof. Serme, and he will try to match students with faculty.
