Each section is reviewed for overall weightedaverage for all questions specific to the course. Then these averages are gathered and averaged tofind the mean score for the course itself. For academic year 2018-2019, the course averaged 4.11on a 5 scale. This was the transitionary year. In subsequent years, 2019-2020 was 3.83, 2020-2021 was 4.03, 2021-2022 was 4.21 and 2022-2023 averaged 4.14 [Table 4]. The evaluations in2022 and 2023 show a slight increase from 2020 and 2021.

SEA consisted of three topic areas: (1) informationabout academic careers and pathways, (2) application process and materials, and (3) interviewprocess and expectations. For the first two topic areas, most of the seminars were led by the co-instructors, while for the final topic area of the series

GREaT GradS was designed to servegroups of graduate students who are typically marginalized within science with an eye towardretention through support and mentorship. The overall goals were to provide (1) ResourceRecognition by introducing students to the various academic and personal resources available oncampus, (2) Personal Preparation through programming on subjects such as personal finance andmental health, (3) Career Preparation through writing workshops and curriculum vitae editing,and (4) Network Building by connecting students
