inpsychological studies [22-26]. The continued curiosity in the theory of identity is attributed to thesignificance of understanding an individual in social settings and how they appear in society.Identity theory proposes individuals have several identities framed in hierarchal order. Commonly,identity is considered as categories used to establish the societal role for an individual. A coreobjective of identity theory is to indicate how the categories associated to an individual’s differentidentities are assigned and controlled during interactions. In the late 60’s Erik Erikson positedidentity formation essential to the development of an adolescent. Erikson’s framing of identityconsiders a process dually positioned in the core of an individual and

for the retention of first-year students [10]. A report entitled“STEM Students & Their Sense of Belonging: S-STEM Programs’ Practices & EmpiricallyBased Recommendations” identifies cohort experiences as an important factor in academicintegration and success [9]. Offering retention programs is valuable, but if students do not attendor participate, they will not receive the maximum benefits that these programs can provide.Students are more likely to participate in retention programs if they feel a sense of communitywithin the institution [9]. Furthermore, female engineering students, who have been found tohighly value the sense of connectedness, benefit from the positive impact of a supportivecommunity, enhancing their resilience. Thus
