In-personinteractions on campus offer students the chance to build community. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic eliminated many opportunities for in-person events and proved a significant barrierto finding community on campus. Regarding her experience, Khadijah remarked: So, before COVID, which was just my freshman year, I would say everything was very inclusive and fun, maybe because I was on campus more. So, I just felt like there was a lot more people who could potentially help me. In my mind I was like, okay, I’m just a

We selected the Hero’s Journeyframework because it fit several of the narratives collected (using phenomenological researchmethods) to understand women’s experiences with collaborative learning in engineering. Thetwo stories identified stood out as good fits with the Hero’s Journey framework. The protagonistof the first story is Jean, an Irish single mother returning to school as a mature student after adecade of working as a barmaid. We extend
