formulatedinterventions to aid these populations (e.g., [5]–[7]), few have adequately questioned the metric ofsuccess itself: retention. To be specific, “retention” tracks only the percentage of students whobegin their undergraduate career in a chosen major and successfully matriculate, which may be toocoarse of a measure for several reasons: 1. It counts students who switch out of a STEM major and flourish within a new major as failures (cell “L+” in Figure 1). 2. It counts students who remain within their originally declared STEM major but flounder academically, dislike the material, or do not envision themselves pursuing a career in the field after graduation as successes (cell “S-” in Figure 1). 3. It ignores students who transfer into a
that ourapproach can be replicated in other fields and other student populations.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grants1842166 and 1329283.

these programsthrough learning how participants in K12 STEM outreach programs define mentoring. Thispaper focuses on one research question from our pilot study: How do university student mentor definitions of “mentoring” compare to those of faculty / staff program coordinators?Theoretical FrameworkTo categorize participants’ definitions of mentoring, the research team utilizes Pfund et al.’s [14]attributes of effective mentoring relationships, which are “supported by the literature andsuggested by theoretical models of academic persistence” [p. S238]. This framework was chosenbecause of the ample existing metrics and examples of measurable learning objectives provided,which can be mapped to experiences participants share in their

Bob expressed fear and ambiguitytogether by describing his experience as “I think generally overall speaking ambiguity would belike being in the unknown. Kind of like almost fear of the unknown then like, yeah, you're notsure what you need to do or what is going to be happening.” Jon discussed how taking the wrongpath for ambiguous problem increases his anxiety, “if something is too ambiguous…I know I getalmost like anxiety if it's ambiguous and I'll never really get going or never know if I'm going inthe right direction.” Jon’s anxiety also became evident when he discussed ambiguity in theworkplace versus academia, stating that he “believe[s
