conveniencefor the actors, facilitators, and students. Whether or not it returns to an on-campusimplementation in future years will be decided collaboratively by those who plan this event andthe theatre personnel who implement it. Additional considerations regarding futureimplementations of the Theatre Sketch productions are related to the time, effort, and cost ofproduction and the university and department budgetary resources.AcknowledgmentThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation.

semester.Our results suggest that PLTL in Calculus 1 strongly supports student success, with particularlystrong gains for students typically underrepresented in engineering. While the focus ondeveloping problem-solving skills and engagement with course content is important, intentionalcommunity-building to foster peer connections that lead to mutual academic support appears tobe a crucial aspect of these gains. Thus, linking PLTL to a LC or incorporating intentionalcommunity-building directly into early PLTL sessons will help maximize achievement gains.References[1] J. A. Middleton, S. Krause, S. Maass, K.

universityaccounts not belonging to the AcES leader were not tracked due to lack of access.Future Work. We will analyze survey results on resource limitations and compare responses onAcES and Adventure WV first year trips. We will improve the sampling methods to recruit moreunderserved students to better reflect their perspectives.References[1] M. Ashley, K. M. Cooper, J. M. Cala, and S. E.
