replicating successful practices is a common agenda for advancing BlackAmericans in engineering [1], specifically as an implementation mechanism. One such programintentional for this purpose is the DISTINCTION Summer Program at a large research universityin the southeast. The purpose of this paper is to describe DISTINCTION, the preliminary processof considering its assessment and evaluation, and describe alterations and necessities of theprogram over time based on. As a program initiated during the summer of 2021, the co-directorhas led programmatic transformations and changes needed during its shift to an in-personoffering starting in the summer of 2022.Now in its third year overall and second year in-person, these evaluative considerations

resources to make that a reality. Tobegin addressing this gap, we created an open course to provide instructors with some of thetools and knowledge necessary to make their Open Educational Resources accessible and ADAcompliant. In spring 2022, we presented a paper on our course at the ASEE North CentralSection conference. At that conference we were asked about what we do to support studentswith disabilities transitioning into higher education. We didn’t have a good answer and itbecame clear that we needed to understand this transition so that we could make strides toease it.After that conference we applied to have this project supported by our campus’ undergraduateresearch fellowship program.

Black and Hispanicstudents are also overrepresented in workshops relative to the overall course population, whileAsian student enrollment in workshops is slightly lower in proportion to their representation inthe corresponding lecture population.

A burgeoning area of research has highlighted how these experiences of difference havenegatively impacted WOC’s mental health and, in turn, their persistence in STEM (Evans et al.,2018; Wilkins-Yel et al., 2022).
