physics and mathematics. Unfortunately, engineering disciplines are technicalin nature and grounded in societal values and practices that make communication and leadershipskills a secondary focal point, or of minimal interest. There are several institutions, nonetheless,that have integrated writing centers or Leadership programs with the intention of promoting andenhancing technical communication and leadership skills. However, given the extensivity ofengineering curricula, it becomes burdensome for undergraduate students to participate and takeadvantage of such venues.This trend has gained considerable attention from national, state, and local agencies aboutreassessing the landscape of STEM education and developing proactive measures to

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

. Novelties of Our ProjectAmong all the programs available for freshman and sophomore students, it has been shown thatengaging students via summer research and enrichment programs can significantly improveretention [4] [9] [11] [12], GPA [5] [6] [7], and graduation rates/time [10]. The rationale behindthese success stories is that engaging students in the summer program promotes their interests,broadens their knowledge, and fosters a closer relationship between students and their peers andprofessors, which in turn positively affects academic performance. Different from the previouslyestablished summer programs, our project activities had the following novelties:(1) Low floor, wide walls, and high ceiling: The summer research was based on project

’ organizations such as oSTEM and LGBQTies(a student-developed queer organization). The form collected students' contact information andwas used to gauge overall interest. We also had the students write a few sentences describing theirinterest in the group to select for a reasonable pilot group size. We offered the reading group to allengineering students as an independent study class for credit. Faculty allies in each departmentagreed to sign off credit. In the pilot reading group, we had one student pursue this option.We received 13 total responses, 5 graduate students and 8 undergraduate students all LGBTQIA+identifying (even though the call for participants was open to all identities).

for the 2019 summer cohort as to whatneeded to be cut from the schedule to accommodate a 6-week versus 10-week research program.It was decided that REM students would not need to prepare or present a research paper; instead,we asked that they only prepare and present a poster to capture their research. There were alsosome professional development topics that were either cut from their schedule or given in ashorter timeframe, especially with respect to writing research papers and pursuing differentcareer pathways.Design Element #1: Forging connection between theory, research, and application. Theprogram was designed to help deepen participants’ understanding of the connection betweentheory, research, and application, making them better

. Figure 2 SenseMaker dyad that probes the overall concept of thriving. After completing their narrative and a series of triadic and dyadic questions, andparticipants were also asked sentiment-based multiple-choice questions (MCQ) relevant to theirstory. One MCQ participants were required to answer was “If you could do so without fear ofjudgment or retaliation, who would you share this story with?” and were given the followingoptions: 1) Family 2) Instructor 3) Peers 4) Prefer not to answer 5) Other. A third of the participantsindicated that they would share their story with their instructor.Additional Analyses Pearson’s chi-squared tests were conducted on the quantitative data of the MCQ statedpreviously to determine if there were
