handbook and guidelines were intended to be resources for developing a healthy mentor-mentee relationship.Epic FailThe third initiative of the program is an event called Epic Fail. Epic Fail is an open microphoneevent where faculty members and students share their personal stories of failure, to dispelimposter syndrome. Having an open microphone structure with no main speaker, Epic Fail isconsidered a unique event, separate from the speaker series. This event has a goal tocommunicate that “Fail” stands for First Attempt in Learning and that failure is part ofengineering. In fact, everyone fails, even the best in any field. It is important to emphasize that itis not only okay to fail but also a valuable way to improve by identifying ways to perform

them, especially URMs, arebeing negatively impacted, personal and professionally [4], [5]. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the research that is being conducted on URMs’experiences during COVID-19, particularly as it pertains to engineering. Using the online data andanalysis platform SenseMaker, participants were asked to share a story in response to the followingprompt: Imagine you are chatting with a friend or family member about the evolving COVID-19crisis. Tell them about something you have experienced recently as an engineering student. In asimilar study, at the University of Georgia, students expressed there was a lack of empathy frominstructors during the shift to virtual instruction [6], [7]. Our overarching

not pursuing STEM fields [4]. They concluded that 42% of suchdemographic groups do not pursue STEM fields given their lack of access to quality education thatprepare them for such careers, while 41% because they were not encouraged to pursue STEM froman early age.II. PROPOSED WORKGiven the concerning and alarming statistics, it is imperative for supporting the cognitive andsocial development of underrepresented students. At the microlevel, which is the classroom,faculty members can and do play an important role the educational progression of students. Thismeans that faculty members can and should take a proactive role in supporting, promoting, andadvocating for educational equity that help advance the educational success of

institution requires we gain approval from the certifying body for theuniversity's state. All institutions in the state must evaluate the effectiveness of their UCC atregular intervals. Our teaching methods and content has evolved such that the institution's componentcourses and pedagogies of Team Teaching are vital to achieving the desired outcomes. Ourmodel is an "all in" team endeavor; our instructional team meets with all classes, and such is anenterprising dynamic, engaging faculty, staff, and near-peer teachers, working together. Modeling teamwork is a core attribution of our approach. Research-to-practice becomespractice-to-research as we learn new ways to help our students succeed while growing theirpreparedness for future success

Thisstudy takes an additional step to differentiate between allies and advocates, tying the differenceto programmatic levels and participation: Advocates are active and effective proponents of gender diversity and equity, specifically in terms of increasing the number of female faculty, encouraging the hiring and promotion of female faculty in administrative positions, and ensuring the fair and equitable treatment of women within partner institutions. They are committed to increasing their understanding of gender bias and its impact on the academic careers of women. Allies are men

: Word cloud visualization of the college-level challenges faced by the participantsIn addition to a word frequency query, a coding analysis was performed on the responses toquestion M1 from the matching survey to distill this qualitative information. In doing so, fourinductive codes were generated by the researcher while reading and sorting the data: academics,path uncertainty, personal and social struggles, and time balance. The “academics” code wasused to label any struggles related to coursework, such as low grades, dropping courses, or poorstudy habits. The “path uncertainty” code broadly labels any lack of clarity in students’ academicor career trajectory in engineering, such as being unsure about their major or having troublefinding an
