also make them successful as a doctoral student (Holbrook et al., 2014). This gap causesstudents to often lose focus of their primary responsibilities, such as research and maintaining apositive relationship with their advisor, instead of focusing their efforts less effectively on otheractivities such as coursework or extracurricular tasks that do not hold the same significance inthe doctoral journey. It is not until later in the Ph.D. process that students face the reality thattheir efforts were misaligned with the best activities for degree progress (Artiles, 2019; Artiles etal., 2018). This far into the Ph.D. process, it often seems too late to refocus and make timelydegree progress, causing students to lose motivation and, in some severe

in-person face to face experience to a virtualexperience. Online learning is an effective method of instruction, provided that devices andtechnology platforms are accessible and screen time is monitored and limited. WOCSECincludes workshops for standardized testing, the college application process, scholarshipresources, shadowing opportunities, summer internships and the required high school coursesrequired of most collegiate engineering programs. Students were given a pre-survey the first dayof the camp to assess their attitudes and perceptions towards entering STEM fields. In an effortto measure student’s change in perception, students completed a post survey. In addition to thepre-post survey, a semi-annual quantitative and qualitative

conveys success comes with time and by sharing lived experiences. Kate depicts that our image of success is co-constructed by interacting with others which informs our own understanding of success. Then iteratively over time, you’ll see yourself as successful and see others as successful. Kate maps the “different levels of success” by explaining the transition from understanding to seeing others as successful. Although Kate critiques the competitive workplace environment and societal definitions of success, she sees success as an end goal with multiple paths. Kate has described the process of becoming successful through goal obtainment. If goals are salient to how Kate defines success, then her lower grit-factor score

Unlike many of its competitors, Miro supports both discreteand continuous brainstorming processes, meaning that users can visualize either independentsteps and thoughts throughout the process or a continuous flow.
