Graduate students are also not as studied as theirundergraduate counterparts in terms of mental well-being (Cranford, Eisen-berg, and Serras 2009; Levecque et al. 2017; Liu et al. 2019; Nature Editorials2019; Paglis, Green, and Bauer 2006; Schlosser et al. 2011; Sverdlik et al. 2018;Waldeck et al. 1997).

I havenever even taken a test.” The IR scholars also noted that rigid, lockstep course structures as wellas course scheduling problems across

interactions with peers and faculty withinthe first 10 weeks (about 2 and a half months) of graduate school reduced the impact of stress,both physically and psychologically, for the next 6 months [7]. Overall, we know that at least40% of all doctoral students do not complete their programs, and much of this attrition could beprevented and is not reflective of student capability [8].Simultaneously, doctoral degrees awarded in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) continue to be disproportionately awarded to white students. In the 2019-20 academicyear, 71.3% of all STEM doctoral degrees awarded to U.S. citizens and permanent residentswere awarded to white students, even though the U.S. population is approximately 59.3% white.Only 4.3

graduates and institutional support at their post-graduation employer (typically auniversity or academic institution) are key to increasing the representation of minorities inSTEM faculty roles [4]. To increase the number of doctoral degrees earned, there must be anincrease in the number of Hispanic students entering graduate programs. According to theEngineering by the Numbers ASEE report, even though Hispanics represent 18.7% of the USpopulation, only 9.2% and 6.1% of master and doctoral degrees, respectively, are awarded toHispanic recipients [5]. Further, the numbers decrease again when faculty appointments areconsidered, where only 3.6% of faculty appointments in engineering are held by Hispanicprofessors.Convincingly, increasing Hispanic
