synonymously in the literature; however, postgraduate can either refer to aperson who has earned a high school diploma or who has also earned a collegiate-level degree.Graduate students and undergraduate students often follow different paths in the academicenvironment. They serve divergent roles, face separate challenges, and have differentexperiences. Graduate students face obstacles beyond the classroom—in their ability to meetwith advisers, attend conferences, and develop social support from their peers—thatundergraduate students may not face [3]. Even in the classroom graduate students may beexpected to meet different expectations than their undergraduate counterparts. This may includea greater volume of reading and reading assignments provided

the value of“coaching on formulating empathic phrases, and conveying empathy verbally and nonverbally”[69, p. 1173]. Role playing was also shown to be effective, as students considered the linksbetween themselves and stakeholders and built emotional connections aligned with the “sharing”component of Zaki’s framework [56, 62, 76, 77].Previously Wong et al. described how social identity sharing and active listening experiences canbe used to foster cognitive empathy and to facilitate learning on how culture can impactcommunication [31]. In a two day workshop they used several exercises, such as case studies,small group activities to practice active listening, and lectures about stereotype threats, aversiveracism and sexism, and the benefits of

. Graduate students are often faced with a wide variety of academic,professional, and personal challenges across their academic journeys that can impact theirpersistence in their graduate programs. These challenges are often exacerbated when racializedaspects of identity are introduced/considered/threatened. Black graduate students in engineeringdeal with additional scrutiny, such as microaggressions, racism, and other racialized experiencesthroughout their journey. This results in a wide variety of psychological and behavioralresponses unique to this group, such as feelings of powerlessness, invisibility, loss of integrity,pressure to represent one’s group [1], anger, escapism, withdrawal frustration and avoidance [2].In their study of graduate
