(15.2%) compared to enrollment patterns in the general student population (21.7%). Disparitiesin enrollment are partnered with inequitable rates of course completion, with historicallyunderserved students completing 71% of these courses with a grade of C or better, compared toan 82% course success rate for their peers. These demographics mirror national demographictrends that indicate student access to degree and career opportunities in STEM offered by twoyear colleges disproportionately favors students who identify with hegemonic norms in STEM[2],[3]. The SEECRS project represents one institutions attempts at designing programming todismantle structures that reproduce these disparities.Beginning in 2018, Whatcom Community College started
