Participants whose advisors were yet to attain tenure exhibited the most acute disdainfor a future in academia. Students in this situation began to question their desire to becomefaculty, which caused them to reevaluate why they were pursuing a doctorate at all.The relationship participants had with their advisors formed a crucial component of theirexperience.

These perspectives inform their decision making as they collaborativelydesign lessons to engage their fifth/sixth grade partners.

A core piece of ensuring a change in educational systems is the ability of theseagents to exercise their agency (i.e., free will or choice to act). However, the dominant norms inhigher education can limit opportunities for students, faculty members, or higher educationadministrators to enact their agency [3], [4].
