Some of ourexamples and strategies can be scaled and adapted to address institutional or regional challengesor to increase awareness and engagement in other national societies. Outcomes seen throughinitiatives have resulted in increased connections with previously disenfranchised members tothe ASEE community, engagement across divisions, and expanded programming in support ofdiversity, equity, and inclusion practices.1.

The planningstages for this project began in February 2017. A proposal was submitted to the IUPUI Service-Learning Office for $1,800 and approved for funding to cover miscellaneous expenses andprovide a stipend for the graduate students. The overriding intent of this project was to take toheart the philosophy, principles, and practices of sustainability and apply it to a communityproject.St. Christopher Midsummer FestivalSt. Christopher is a catholic parish located in Speedway on the west side of Indianapolis.

] in Australia, there wereserious issues regarding the low motivation students had to interact with academics, which had an impact ontheir morale. Furthermore, student/staff ratios were very high; hence there was no capacity for any effort fromthe academics. Some academics felt that undergraduates were unmotivated and that there was no value toengaging with them outside the classroom environment. In order to find ways to address these problems, andprovide students with a space to develop sense of belonging and engage with their peers through a co-curricularexperience, the School of Civil Engineering in 2015 developed the Icarus program. Icarus is a voluntary,project-based, research program where students engage with peers in small projects

An aspirational goal of this program is that each engineeringstudent will have at least one study and/or research abroad experience before graduation. Furtherthere is need for adaptation of an assessment instrument to evaluate the global skills the studentsdevelop because of these international research experiences. Several instruments are beingconsidered, such as, Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory (BEVI), Global Perspective Inventory(GPI) and Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI). 8References1. ASEE.
