Finalists’ interviews were held with interview panels thatconsisted of a PTG team member, an industry representative, and a student representative. Onceaward notifications were made, follow up communications were conducted by phone and emailsto answer any questions the students and their families may have had before committing to theprogram.Addressing PTG Students’ Social Engagement Through Peer Mentoring and Living LearningCommunities.Transitioning from high school to a university setting is a challenge for most students, no mattertheir socio-economic or demographic background.

and limited each student’s engagement,consisting of two hours of short PowerPoint presentations with limited time for Q&A. At ourpre-REU mentor meeting in 2018, we agreed to a “gallery”-style check-in format that used low-tech posters (printed sheets taped to a wall or poster board), to which mentors, graduate students,and other faculty in the department and across campus were invited. The new format was verywell received both by the mentors and the REU students the past two summers, primarily due tothe increased interaction each REU student had with a larger number of researchers. Attendanceat the check-in meetings also increased since graduate students, post-docs, and faculty who werenot REU mentors came to talk to the students. The

contrast to the traditional faculty-formed teaming method, in September 2018, the seniorproject faculty decided to allow students to create their own teams (student-formed teaming). Aswith the traditional teaming method, the students were given detailed information about theprojects prior to team forming, including project Q&A sessions with sponsors. The actual teamforming took place during the scheduled class time, using the Mingling process as described inAller, et al. In preparation, faculty created an 11”x17” poster (Figure 3) for each project andtaped them to the walls. The posters included the proposal number, name, and sponsor at the topand a box for any special skills required near the bottom. The stage was set by writing out

These updates were mainly aimed to reduce students’ stress andimprove their
