As part of the IFS Virtual Keynote Series on "Interventions that Support Students' Academic Success", two experienced and internationally renowned researchers delivered instructive keynotes. In the first keynote, Professor Judy Harackiewicz, PhD (University of Wisconsin), addressed the importance of utility interventions in college STEM courses in her presentation on "Promoting Motivation and Performance in Gateway STEM Classes with Value Interventions: Challenges and New Directions". She began by explaining the structure and the evolvement of interventions. A particular focus of the presentation was on the effects of interventions for achievement and motivation.
