Position Summary Information
Primary Purpose The Administrative Coordinator, UOP Reach for the Stars STEM Academy (RFTSSA), is responsible for managing a wide range of administrative tasks. Under the direct supervision of the School of Engineering Assistant Dean for Student Success, the Administrative Coordinator will join the University of the Pacific to facilitate all administrative logistical aspects in planning for the Reach for the Stars STEM Academy (RFTSSA) for the summer of 2026 on the Stockton University of the Pacific campus.

Program service areas and location: The RFTSSA serves students in the Tracy Unified School District.

Academy Overview: Our STEM academies are academically intense, mathematics-based, summer enrichment programs designed for students who lack access to resources that would enable them to accelerate their learning and move into college preparatory coursework in high school.

Academic goals of our academies are designed to develop and enhance skills in abstract & critical reasoning, problem solving through interpretation, making connections, explanation & demonstration, study techniques, technological skills, methods, and processes used to achieve goals and essential skills for college and career.

Life goals of our academies are developed with each student and designed to help them develop purpose through building leadership skills and increasing self-esteem/confidence via real-life application of solving practical-everyday problems that often have an impact on life, work, health, and overall well-being. Identified students have potential to become scientists, engineers, and leaders in their community, yet lack access to academic enrichment programs that support their aptitude during the longest period of time school is not is session, summer. Our STEM academies reinforce and encourage students to consider STEM careers, take STEM classes during high school, participate in their school-site MESA program and pursue Stem fields as college majors.

Student Profile-RFTSSA: Student participation in the RFTSSA is based on academic criteria. Recruitment starts while students are current 6th graders. Currently, students in grades 7-12 participate in the Stockton academy. Once enrolled, students continue their summer participation through their 12th grade year.

Program Design: The program, presented over the course of six summers, introduces students to progressively challenging STEM concepts at each returning grade level (rising 7th – rising 12th). The college level curriculum methodology covers concepts students typically experience during post-secondary education. The instructional delivery model is project based and focuses on introducing students to STEM via themed topics. Inclusive are pre/posttests, guest speakers, team projects, class presentations, library research, field trips, special events, homework, and skill assessments.

The Project Based STEM Coordinator will work directly with the Assistant Dean with a focus on continuing to build, expand, and improve & enhance academy program delivery into future years. Additionally, be instrumental in assisting teachers with curriculum implementation and project development. The Coordinator will also work closely with the Lead teacher, other teachers, and classroom Teaching Assistants to deliver the daily curriculum. The Coordinator is required to attend staff orientation, Minors on Campus Training, staff meetings, and other program preparation activities.

STEM skills and knowledge will be developed in areas that strengthen students’ ability to problem solve; reason; conject; and apply mathematical knowledge logically and systematically. Other focus areas will be:

  • Developing critical thinking, abstract reasoning, and systematic analysis.
  • Demonstrating, through an integrated and hands-on approach, the application of mathematics to diverse disciplines (particularly to the fields of science, computer science, and engineering), and to a wide range of career opportunities.
  • Developing basic mathematical skills and knowledge.
  • Learning to communicate and reason mathematically – both orally and in writing.
  • Learning that hard work, perseverance and commitment result in meaningful knowledge and pride in accomplishment through experiences of success in a rigorous academic program.
