Instead, through this qualitative thematic analysis, we attend tothe different ways students take up and respond to social, political, and economic dimensionsthat have to do with environmental justice and environmental racism.Curricular Revision on Environmental RacismFor the week on environmental racism, students were tasked with reading two articles. One fromthe Atlantic and one from Vox. The Atlantic article is titled “A New EPA Report Shows thatEnvironmental Racism is Real” (Newkirk II, 2018), and the Vox article is titled “There’s a clearfix to helping

was a two-phased event, starting with an online, capture-the-flagcompetition with the top 20 students attending the in-person portion. Students came from eightuniversities and community colleges from across the state.A significant percentage of cybersecurity jobs require security clearances. This requirement isespecially pronounced in the mid-Atlantic region: a recent survey shows that in the GreaterWashington DC area 9% of job postings require clearance [19]. Many of our industry andgovernment partners list as one of their top workforce priorities to recruit clearable, qualifiedcandidates. While we cannot directly sponsor, nor provide a student’s clearance, we can ensurethat students are informed about what a security clearance is, what the

Engineering 2 is for students who entered as first-year students with theprerequisites to begin taking engineering coursework (on-track students) immediately. The totalsample size is 280 engineering students (n =152 on-track, n= 128 off-track) who are clusteredwithin 25 sections of Engineering 1 or 2 (n=12 on-track, n=13 off-track) with approximately74% of students self-identifying as biological males (Table

In response to the above calls, this study explores the engineering graduate student’sexperience, focusing on their perceived stressors or challenges, while considering the student’sdegree and citizenship status. This study is situated in a three-year effort to develop andimplement a mandatory graduate seminar course focused on promoting equity in STEM at anR1, research-intensive university in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. The following sections will
