consistently shapes their persistence and success is their advisingrelationship. The way students perceive the support they receive from this relationship caninfluence their self-efficacy concerning the competences needed to finish their dissertation, thesisor applied project report. Understanding the relationship between the student’s self-efficacytowards their culminating tasks and their perception of their advisor’s support is essential, asfrom a motivational standpoint, it can serve as a closer proxy for degree completion.This research paper presents the development and validation of the Advisor Support and Self-efficacy for Thesis completion (ASSET) survey, which measures two constructs: Thesis Self-efficacy and Advisor Support. The former

structured interviewdata collected through an extracurricular student project. We investigated three key aspects ofgraduate school, particularly experiences with 1) work-life-balance, 2) imposter syndrome, and3) burnout. To develop the survey and interview instruments, we developed a pool of memes andgraduate student oriented advice columns then used thematic analysis to identify 9 thematicquestions about the graduate student experience. For this work, the data set was abbreviated toconsider only the 3 most salient topics. We found that students generally disagreed with thenegative themes identified and that memes tended to exaggerate these features of graduatestudent experience. However, emergent themes of self-efficacy in our analysis demonstrated

(3) Provide support to BD Fellows beyond BD funding in preparation for graduation andcareer. Our theoretical framework, further described above, values (1) self-efficacy, (2)science/research identity, and (3) social cognitive career theory model to recruit, enroll, andgraduate 12 LSAMP Fellows with STEM doctoral degrees. Our goals, then, are to (1) evaluateour intervention’s success on the three stated objectives and (2) measure the stated constructswithin the theoretical framework to test our theory of change.Approach to assessment.Evaluation of the BD Program will utilize both internal and external expertise. Thiscollaboratively managed evaluation will have a mixed-methods approach emphasizing the designof several survey instruments

intheir studies than students who procrastinate or have no planning and revisionstage for their writing (Sverdlik et al. 2018, p. 377-378). Finally, student successis tied to their academic identity (Sverdlik et al. 2018, p. 378-380). Students whoshow self-efficacy, that is confidence in their work, leads to positive outcomesin career trajectory and more competence in core abilities (Sverdlik et al. 2018,p. 379-380). This is also tied to student’s self-worth. Student’s who feel successas a result of their accomplishments as a graduate student are more likely tohave continued motivation (Sverdlik et al. 2018, p. 379-380). This can also,however, cause major determent to some students. Students whose identity istied to academic success and then find

feedback. In Meeting 1 (Figure 1) co-instructors are invited toconsider their positionalities as they relate to each other [19]. How will the pairs address theinherent power differential between them? How will they approach differing opinions in theclassroom in real time? What are their preferences for giving and receiving feedback to eachother, and how can the mentor instill a sense of self-efficacy and advocacy in the mentee?Overall, we consider the redesigned program as a more intentional, more supportive, and highertouch experience for both mentors and mentees.OutcomesOwing to the continuous adjustments made in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and criseswithin our community, our program implementation proved to be a moving target, and we

who do not consider mentoring apriority, it should be noted that they were at least interested enough in mentoring or incentivizedsufficiently by the travel grants earmarked for students to have bothered completing thisvoluntary mentoring survey.Mentorship Seminar SeriesTo enable successful mentor-mentee relationships between graduate students and facultymembers, it is important to first understand how to start, build, and maintain one as well asrecognize what factors can contribute to failed mentoring. However, graduate students,especially minority graduate students, often lack this knowledge, significantly impacting theirresearch productivity, academic and research self-efficacy from experiencing unsatisfyingmentoring without the ability to

This can beachieved through encouragement, positive feedback, and support for their personal andprofessional growth. The fourth action, contributing to the development of the student's professional andacademic network, is critical because it can help students build valuable connections andopportunities for their future careers. This could include introducing students to relevantprofessionals in their field, helping them network at conferences or other events, or providingguidance on how to build a strong professional brand. Finally, the fifth
