We expect that actions in these domains will result in three concrete forms of impact: (1) empowered engineering student organizations, which will make engineering education more inclusive at the level of peer-to-peer interactions; (2) actionable organizational policies and effective practices

Classroom culture is shown to have a significant impact on the success of Black andHispanic students in higher education and in STEM in particular.
