frustrations inleadership positions; accounts of situations that have been described in newspapers and reports inacademia, industry, and national laboratories. Numerous scenario examples can be found in [10].Discussion of the scenarios is performed in the following way. Background information on thetopic (e.g., leadership fundamentals, ethics and professionalism, building trust, creativity,teamwork, running meetings, conflict management, communication, delivering bad news) ispresented via 6-8 power point slides. A question or discussion situation is then presented.Attendees are divided into teams of 3-5, depending upon the total number present, and are given5-7 min to discuss the scenario posed. In a formal course, I promote diversity in ideas

important factor in a potential faculty member’s decision to join.Additionally, PhD students play a vital role in mentorship of undergraduate students, serving asteaching assistants in courses and as mentors in the laboratory. Graduate students can beparticularly influential role models for undergraduates considering research careers. Finally,graduate students that go on to successful careers in a variety of sectors plays a crucial part inexpanding the reputation of the School. Their success is a direct reflection of the laboratoriesand faculty that mentored them.Just as important as the number of graduate students is the diversity of the student body.

they can develop the knowledge, skills, and relationships needed to be aresearch engineer. Another initiative seeks to develop a Research Engineer Network (REN) ofindividuals that will impart skills and mentoring to graduate students, that may not available to them fromtheir own major professor and her/his research group. The network will be composed of graduatestudents, select major professors, select faculty from R1 universities, and representatives from corporateresearch and federal research laboratories. The REN will have three tracks of activities: ResearchProgression Skills (REN-RPS), Research Networking Skills (REN-RNS), and Career Preview andPreparation (REN-CPP). Each track of activities will be offered in Fall and Spring. The REN

PROMISE: Maryland’s Alliance for GraduateEducation and the Professoriate is another noteworthy program. This program makes efforts onall levels to promote URM scholars from undergraduate degrees to doctoral degrees to facultypositions. The program recommends the professional development of graduate students thatincludes a critical mass of URMs and extends beyond experiences that are provided by coursesand research laboratories [28]. The program believes that all of their graduate students shouldhave accessible and functioning support systems to help them develop professional skills,network, get career advice, and strengthen their

failure to switch from a PhD to a master's. That was the second time I went to counseling. I was just kind of working through those feelings of failure, even though it was an active decision.All the participants expressed that they found the utilization of counseling to be helpful. Becky,for example, described how going to counseling in response to the anxiety attacks she hadexperienced in her research laboratory, gave her useful tools. She shared, I did feel as though I was able to get good insights. He showed me how to like if I had another anxiety attack, breathing mechanisms that I could do to kind of stimulate my parasympathetic system and slow my heart rate and stuff like that, calm my system down.Erin
