). Essentially, one in every four 4-year HBCU institutionsexperienced a resignation or termination at the highest level. Presidents at HBCUs have asignificantly shorter tenure, with an average of 3.3 years, than those of other four-yearinstitutions, with an average tenure of 7 years (Kimbrough, 2017; Gagliardi et al., 2017;Washington Lockett, 2019). These changes have been deemed a “crisis” and an added challengeto the ongoing recovery efforts of many HBCUs that are disproportionately impacted by theglobal pandemic. Particular examples highlighting the extent of this crisis include the state ofMississippi, which saw four presidents leave their eight public institutions within one year(Moody, 2023).

IntroductionIn today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, STEM education is the foundation forfuture advancements, economic growth, and societal progress. It prepares students for careers infields like engineering and computer science. It equips them with the skills necessary to thrive ina technology-driven world. It also fosters innovation and problem-solving abilities to addressglobal challenges like the energy crisis, climate change, and healthcare. According to the Bureauof Labor Statistics, employment in STEM areas in the United States is projected to grow by 9.5%from 2019 to 2029, which is a much faster growth compared to
Summer Camps canalleviate this concern by exposing participants from diverse backgrounds to the topical areas,encouraging participating students to pursue STEM-based careers, and helping the nation meet theneed for a STEM-focused workforce. Thus, given the need to ensure a diverse set of studentparticipants in summer camps, including women and underrepresented minorities, and the ability ofSummer Camps to alleviate the problem, this research determines the diversity of STEM summercamp attendees in the US over two decades. The three-staged research included sample selection,parameter development, and descriptive statistical analysis.

While CSt face many challenges, they also have, on average, higher GPAs thanother students.

demands (assignment, projects, internships, etc.), and the social pressures of engaging withpeers, and faculty. The microcosm of the college campus can be challenging for students, where some areleaving the familiarity of home and family to join spaces where they can be isolated. Prior researchsuggests that being socially connected can help to alleviate stress (Achat et al., 1998). Research alsoshows that minoritized student populations experience more barriers to persistence in STEM highereducation compared to white students and certain Asian populations due to the added stress of racismfaced by these populations (Harper, 2010; Pawley, 2019). Racial stress can manifest due to phenomenalike isolation, stereotype threat and microaggressions at

An exampleof a diaspora community that has been severely affected by natural disasters is the Puerto RicanDiaspora. In the United States, approximately five million residents are of Puerto Rican descent,accounting for 1.8 percent of the overall population in 2019 [5]. The phenomenon of labormigration of different diasporas in the construction sector may be traced back to the migrationsthat occurred during the colonial era.

context of MSFW students in STEM fields?A. Construct GenerationThe survey instrument in this study was a combination of two existing validated instruments onCommunity Cultural Wealth (CCW) and Funds of Knowledge (FofK). One of the instruments isfrom a conference proceeding on ASEE titled Critically Quantitative: Measuring CommunityCultural Wealth on Surveys [33], which was developed by looking at underrepresented groups inSTEM fields. While the instrument in the study is consistent with Yosso’s [15] framework andgoes deeper in detail about the type of constructs for CCW. For this study, only the social construct(10 items) was used and renamed as social networks. The second instrument comes from a journalpaper titled Recognizing the funds of
