Grantee poster examines the impact of participation in the Rice EmergingScholars Program (RESP), Rice University’s comprehensive undergraduate science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) summer bridge program, on student perceptions ofuniversity belongingness within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Within a quasi-experimental design, the researchers examined whether RESP participants experienced differentlevels of belongingness utilizing two measures: The Psychological Sense of School MembershipScale, as well as a measure of perceived peer support. Additionally, the researchers examinedwhether family income impacted students, regardless of RESP program participation. Finally,researchers examined whether family income moderated

In addition, these kits are billed asinexpensive, but cost $65 without a return label and $110 with one [8]. Previous authors haveremarked on the difficult logistics in managing kits which must be returned [2]. Other non-electrical kits have been developed for K-12 fluids and heat transfer topics, or for statics for usein a flipped classroom.

Introduction There has been a concerted effort both nationally and at the local level to diversify thescience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and broaden participationfor individuals with a minoritized identity within each field (Basile & Lopez, 2015; NationalScience Foundation, 2020). Such efforts have permeated all educational levels starting in earlyelementary (e.g., enrichment programs) all the way into higher education and industry (e.g.,hiring practices, identity-affirming professional organization). Yet one of the well-documentedbarriers to diversifying the STEM discipline is the current and historical lack of diversity orrepresentation existing within STEM spaces, especially among STEM instructors who
