The document discusses the relationship between the Pentagon and Hollywood, and the extent of Pentagon influence over how the US military is portrayed in films. It notes that the Pentagon provides military resources and assistance to films in exchange for having input and approval over scripts and characters. While this has resulted in some very patriotic films, it has also led to criticisms that the Pentagon pressures Hollywood to present an overly positive image of the US military and to make historical events seem more compatible with the Pentagon's views. The relationship and Pentagon influence continues today whenever films seek the Pentagon's cooperation.

“The federal government invests more than $3 billion per year on hundreds of STEM programs, yet there has been little measurable change in STEM student retention, graduation, or workforce readiness, particularly for underrepresented groups. Is it possible that the larger issue is not engagement, but rather inspiring motivation to persist? Answering this question requires that we rethink conventional wisdom about pedagogy, and incorporate the social reality of how students experience learning. Dr. Bracey will present outcomes from Temple University’s STE/A/M 2.0—an ecosystem approach to STEM teaching and learning that successfully integrates social, institutional, and domain cultures into rigorous learning strategies that promote STEM retention for diverse students.
