As interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) continues to grow, a chapter in a new book presents information on how to bring the arts to STEM fields. The chapter outlines a creative exercise that used picture books to help first-year college students explore their ideas, beliefs, and humanistic impulses regarding their future majors. The exercise also allowed students to examine how representation in children’s books, combined with social class, race, and access, can limit society’s vision of who can succeed in STEM fields.

Bruce Stanfill, an associate professor and researcher at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and Chris Hoffmann, a Marine Corps combat veteran and founder of the Ambitious VET Network sketched a study framework to examine where and how veterans transitioning from military service to civilian life were thriving, treading water or struggling.
