The situative learning theory wasemployed to understand whether and how students developed interest and agency in acybersecurity career path. Evidence from the case study suggest that structured, mandatoryparticipation in competitions fueled interest in cybersecurity, as did regular opportunities todiscuss contemporary events in the field with students across grade levels and professionalinterests

-nity colleges became a non-negligible contributor to the highly diversified student body [9]. Alarge percentage of such students are underrepresented minorities and from low-income families.They choose to begin with community colleges because the tuition is cheaper than 4-year univer-sities. Understanding how they make transfer decisions is critical in designing comprehensive andsystematic measures to ensure their academic and career success.In this paper, a literature review is conducted to identify the key personal and academic factors thatinfluence the transfer decision, particularly for students from traditionally disadvantaged groups.We also perform an exploratory analysis of these factors by inviting students from both commu-nity

(2) How does the course level affect the performance ofstudents in demographic groups shown to be significant in RQ1? Herein, it is shown that theprogression through an academic career affects students differently based on their demographics.Male students of color are shown to be the group most negatively impacted by certain effects.This work seeks to counter the common anecdotal fallacy that academic preparedness is theprimary driver between disparities in success as it is observed that gaps widen and narrow withtime through the academic levels

undergraduate students from different backgrounds (i.e., Black, Latinx, andIndigenous). For example, Strayhorn et al. [7] and Tolbert Smith [15] found that Black studentsare subjected to looks and messaging that suggest they will not succeed in engineering and otherSTEM-related careers. Similarly, McGee [8] found that Black men students were oftenstereotyped as being more suited for careers outside of STEM and their success in STEMcoursework was attributed to them either being extremely intelligent or garnered throughcheating, which hindered some students’ ability to develop an affinity for their STEM discipline.Similarly, Black and Latinx students have reported feelings of isolation and loneliness which canalso negatively impact their academic

The online setting can seamlessly connect undergraduate students across the country withmentors, and the GradTrack program was initially started in 2021 during the COVID-19pandemic. Virtual mentoring has also been shown to increase sense of community, STEMachievement, career self-efficacy, and drive to persist in mentors and mentees [10].The GradTrack mentoring structure is a scalable group and peer mentoring model, with 2graduate student mentors from Purdue with 5-7 URM undergraduate student mentees fromacross the United States and Puerto Rico joined in a mentoring circle.

Asstated, “Better onboarding of contingent faculty would be beneficial both for the quality ofteaching and for career advancement of contingent faculty. By providing better onboardingprocesses, contingent faculty could feel more empowered to self-advocate by knowing the waysand means to obtain items they need and voice their concerns to people that can create change. Recommendations from the deans included: • Allowing senior lecturer faculty to opt-in for a service role • Provide more opportunities to support professional development among contingent faculty

The potential for additional minorityrepresentation in the construction industry remains great. In 2021, only 11% of constructionworkers were women, 6.3% were African American and 2.1% were Asian.
