beforeoffered to STEM students. This change in students’ training reflected the first definitive step forSTEM PhDs expanding their outlook of the needs of future careers.The students greatly appreciated the various P3 inspired experiences (see Sec. 6), but the questionremained: how will the P3 program be viewed by future STEM PhD students whose training it istrying to enhance? Will there be sufficient interest from prospective students in this program? Togauge such interest, hence the need for this type of doctoral training, a question was added to thegraduate admission application for Fall 2022: Would you like to pursue the P3 track for your PhD,with a link provided to explain the program? We were pleasantly surprised that >95% of PhDapplicants to

Society for Engineering Education, 2022 Lessons Learned from Conducting a Diversity-Focused Faculty Cluster Hire at a Predominantly White InstitutionAbstractThere is growing consensus regarding the need for more inclusive practices for facultyrecruitment and hiring. Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) have gained littleground in representation on research-university faculty. This lack of representation remains evenas the student bodies at those same institutions have diversified significantly. Reasons for thisgap include hiring criteria and procedures that may reduce—implicitly or explicitly—thelikelihood that outstanding new academics from historically marginalized populations are offeredpositions on Science
