AB  - Engineering, STEM, and academia on the whole have taken strides towards diversity, equity, and inclusion in the past decade. While progress has been made there is still ways to go. This “Tricks of the Trade” research paper describes a student-led panel that examined the experiences of queer academics and graduate students within several STEM fields in a large R1 institution in the Mid-Atlantic. The panel was intended to be a space for STEM graduate students in the 2SLGBTQIA community to share with administrators, faculty, and staff their experiences as well as the experiences of fellow graduate students in the college/institution. The panelists discussed whether they have faced issues navigating multiple identities within academic spaces. To make queer and trans students feel more welcome, they also discussed the changes that would make them feel more welcome and included within academia and their department(s) (cultural and/or infrastructural changes). Panelists also provided advice and recommendations to future queer and trans graduate students. The panel received overwhelmingly positive feedback, and the audience expressed their willingness and enthusiasm to learn and support queer and trans graduate students. Overall, the lessons learned from the Queer and Trans Graduate Students Panel are as follows:
•	Provided an opportunity to inform about the specific obstacles that many queer and trans students experience in graduate education. 
•	Contributed to the knowledge of designing, facilitating, and conducting a student experiences panel that helps administrators and educators realize connections between student experiences/identities and different aspects of the academic environment.
•	Provided suggestions to improve the experiences of queer and trans graduate students in STEM.
