Rather than simply discussing challenges orideas in a theoretical way, the groups are actively encouraged to identify specific areas ofimprovement, whether in pedagogy, collaboration, or other professional aspects. Once theseareas are identified, the facilitators guide the participants through a structured process ofreflection, goal-setting, and planning, providing the necessary support and resources to helpbring these changes to fruition. This approach ensures that the discussions are not only thought-provoking but also lead to tangible transformations that participants can apply in their

Thebackground outlined above highlights the challenges posed by microplastic pollution in the GulfCoast region. To address these issues and engage undergraduate students, an NSF REU site hasbeen established at the University of South Alabama.
