Most participants indicated that theirmeetings with their advisors took place at an abstract level, discussing research directions, statusupdates, or degree progress, and that they received advice on how to proceed on those topics. Forexample, Tom described their meetings as including “career advice, internship advice, and justgeneral research things,” highlighting that he primarily received advice on the big-picture goalshe needed to pursue. Discussions of what to do in the PhD often operated on the same level: forinstance, when asked what his advisor expects him to achieve during the degree program, Kurtresponded that his advisor’s expectations are “totally the same requirements as the department’sto obtain the PhD.

Severalscholars have explored how higher education marketing materials such as viewbooks [27], [28]and online sources such as program websites [29], [30], [31], [32] use language and visuals toconvey messages to prospective students about diversity and inclusion on campus. Thesematerials often misrepresent true campus diversity and fail to accurately depict who is a part ofthe programs in reality [29], [30]. Indeed, online marketing materials tend to over-representminority groups in visuals while failing to

I have come across some papers that include the experiences of Black students that do not identify as African American, and this has truly helped me find a space that I can relate to. I remind myself of my whole identity and have found ways to integrate who I am into class discussions. I find that consistently acknowledging my own different perspectives and sharing them in class by making relevant connections helps me to shift my training of only seeing my differences as tools for career advancement. Moving forward, I want to look towards other areas of study such as education or psychology that may highlight stories of Caribbean students in their literature
