]. Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) are believed to be an important approach foractively engaging students, a key goal of these teaching reforms. Such experiences are seen as vital for thebroader aims of increasing inclusivity and expanding participation in STEM fields. UREs have madeimportant contributions to the career development and success of many students. Practitioners often credittheir early undergraduate research experiences as pivotal in shaping their professional paths [1]. Inrecognition of this, the National Science Foundation has provided substantial funding to give studentsvaluable opportunities to participate in UREs. These opportunities have been shown to help preparestudents for further studies and careers [1], [2], [3

Undergraduate students are stakeholders in the assessment of cybersecurity as a diverseand inclusive subfield of computing--as they may or may not consider these concepts as theymake curricular and career decisions.

Specifically, policy recommendations emphasize that increased enrollment and retentionof student veterans in STEM degree programs is critical to our nation’s capability to reachrequired levels of future STEM workers [1]. Moreover, since many SVSM are women and/orunderrepresented minorities, recruitment and retention of SVSM along STEM career pathways isvital for diversifying, as well as strengthening, the nation’s STEM workforce [2-4]. As a group,student veterans and service members (SVSM) are considered well-suited
