a 10 hour per week commitment of research from undergraduate students. In addition toresearch hours, students are required to attend monthly professional development sessionsfocused on best practices in research, program deliverables, and community building. Exampletopics include maximizing your research experience, communication, research ethics, academicwriting, poster design, and an overview to graduate school. At the conclusion of the program,students are required to present their research as a poster and write an associated researchabstract.To apply for the program, students connect with a faculty member and write a short 1 to 2 pageresearch proposal describing the type of work they will be doing, the importance of the research,and a

skills,” sense of belonging, and learningexperiences for peer leaders and female CS students. Additionally, pair programming and peerinstruction may be viable practices that will help benefit women in computing with regards tolearning experiences and learning outcomes, but not their retention or persistence. Highlycollaborative course offerings, such as flipped classrooms and “trio of best practices”classrooms, were shown to improve learning experiences, learning outcomes, retention, andpersistence of minoritized women in computing. Future research is still needed aroundpedagogical impacts on individual intersections such as Black women, Latina women, andNative American women. Additionally, future quantitative studies should provide

demonstrate an explicit connection to graduate education theory and criticalconstructs/concepts for success. Research has shown that addressing the topics in Table 1 cansignificantly impact student retention. These workshops provide students with tools forsuccessful degree navigation as well as a network of support at their institutions, in the broaderRDI cohort, and the larger online network. Underlying every session is the understanding that students are aiming to persist in anenvironment that was not designed for them. Through our sessions, we provided validation thatfeelings of not belonging are real and valid (Gardner & Holley, 2011; Gildersleeve et al., 2011;Wood et al., 2016), but also that they can succeed with supportive tools.

At CISTAR, they joined a larger cohort of Research Experiencefor Undergraduate (REU) students from across the U.S. and worked in research teams (so theyhad a peer in the research lab). Similarly, the teacher participants joined a cohort of STEMteachers who were part of a Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program with CISTAR.Further, program participants had multiple mentors in keeping with best mentoring practices(i.e., faculty and graduate mentors, and professional staff mentors who made themselvesavailable after doing a session or workshop with the students). In addition, there were someinformal teacher-student interactions where they could learn

Throughthis group, students are able to discuss queer identities and social issues in a formal setting andconnect with literature that validates their experiences of isolation and discrimination in their field.We will discuss the reading group structure and design, provide reflection on best practices fromour pilot group in Fall 2020, and will present student and faculty reflections on their experiencesin the group.Reading Group Development and StructureReading Group DevelopmentThe idea to run this reading group

success of engineering LIATS.One of the intervention mechanisms has centered in driving students to establish early in theiracademic lives, a roadmap of their school path as students, looking into their objectives asgraduating engineers. The mechanism used for such an objective has been an individualdevelopment plan (IDP) specifically tailored for undergraduates and first-year graduate students,complemented with a faculty mentoring program.The main research question driving this initiative is identifying how the exercise of bringing sucha tool to early study program engineering LIATS in an HSI could impact their success indicatorsand understanding the IDP influence in the mentor-mentee relationship.This paper presents the process of developing

A second vein of Janet’s research seeks to identify the social and cultural impacts of technological choices made by engineers in the process of designing and creating new devices and systems. Her work considers the intentional and unintentional consequences of durable struc- tures, products, architectures, and standards in engineering education, to pinpoint areas for transformative change.
