program for first-generation students and underrepresentedminorities in engineering. The Studio also became a new home for several existing programs,including engineering supplemental instruction and peer mentoring. It is also part of anarticulation plan with the college’s study-abroad program. The Studio has evolved into a hub ofstudent learning and leadership, which encouraged a significant investment from a major energycompany, and expanded the Studio and several other student services into a new entity: the LSUChevron Center for Engineering Education (Chevron Center).Students who participate in our programs do so voluntarily, as do the faculty who certify theircourses as C-I courses.

, writing, andcommunication skills that are vital to successful careers in science and engineering [29].Student participation in REU programs was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and raisedconcerns related to REU learning outcomes. Several REU programs over the past few years wereheld remotely or virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Research on the impacts of virtual orremote REU programs is limited. One study by Nyarko and colleagues highlighted how, despitechallenges encountered during a virtual REU, students demonstrated gains in knowledge,confidence, and communication skills [30]. Even as many REUs return to in-person experiences,research into the impacts of virtual or remote REUSs can be useful as developers and hosts ofREUs and other

The Communityof Practice (COP) [20] model is a widely adopted framework in the professional identityliterature that has been useful in understanding engineering identity (e.g., [21-23]). TheCommunity of Practice model consists of members of a professional community who surround acore of practicing experts. Belonging in this community is experienced through three modalities:imagination (i.e., how can I see myself as a member?), engagement (i.e., how can I participate inthis community?), and alignment (i.e., how
