American Chemical SocietyAnnual Spring Meeting, and at the international Dresden Nexus Conference in Germany .(3)MeasuresThe pre- and post-questionnaires included the following quantitative measures.Academic self-efficacy. An 8-item measure (Chemers et al., 2001) assessing students’ beliefsregarding their ability to successfully achieve their academic goals was rated on a scale from 1(Very Untrue) to 6 (Very True). Items included statements such as, “I know how to study toperform well on tests” and “I usually do very well at school and at academic tasks.” The scalehad adequate internal consistency (Time 1 or T1 Cronbach’s α = .70, Time 2 or T2 α = .94).Items were averaged so that higher scores indicated higher levels of academic self

this case provided by the NASA Space Grant.The student is living minority status in three dimensions (3D) as being a woman, a first-generation college student, and a Native American studying engineering.It is fascinating to analyze how one’s environment and experiences influence their resiliency.Data will be collected on her readiness for an academic career along measures including but notlimited to understanding of the research process, skills in academic writing, self-efficacy, andcompetence in oral presentation. The case study will explore her story. What experiences shapedher determination and brought her to this level, and what benefit did she gain from NASA Spacegrant? The goal is that sharing her story will encourage others to believe
