panel brings together a group of men with diverse backgrounds and experiences to discusstheir perspectives and offer practical skills for men to effectively serve as advocates for genderequity. This paper augments the panel and captures the backgrounds, experiences, perspectives,and recommendations of the panelists, thereby providing a lasting resource for those unable toattend the panel or future interested individuals. The information we present targets men andadministrators, who will better understand the barriers to advocacy, learn best-practices ofeffective advocacy, and hear first-hand experiences of successful advocacy.BackgroundMany factors – systemic and non-systemic, conscious and unconscious, policy and climate – cannegatively impact

Thisresearch can begin discussion on the formulation of best practices about how to improveretention, achievement, undergraduate graduation rates, and career preparation of first-generationLatinas in engineering. This research may elucidates some of the reasons why Latinas chooseengineering in college and why they continue in engineering using Achievement Goal Theory(AGT) as the theoretical framework.

. According to Kayes, one of the most common myths in diversefaculty hiring is that if the president, dean, provost, chancellor, department chair, humanresources officer, and trustees all openly advocate for faculty diversity then it will be evident inthe search and hiring process37. This myth assumes that the members of the Search Committeesalso prioritize diverse hiring when in reality many are unaware of the institutional anddepartmental advantages of a diverse faculty and staff37. Breu et al., recommends that all faculty Search Committee members participate in anorientation on best practices in outreach, recruitment, and interviewing strategies designed toensure diverse candidate pools and to foster fairness and inclusion36.

needs of underrepresented students. The project design is grounded ineducational theories including retention/integration, cumulative advantage, engagement, andconstructivism. It incorporates established best practices for working with URM students such asSTEM identity formation through experiential programs including student research andinternships, a focus on critical junctures, training of faculty and staff to enhance culturalcompetency, and building of academic integration and STEM self-efficacy. An extensiveevaluation plan designed around the project logic model will be used as the basis for projectassessment. This paper includes a description of the project, partner institutions, and first yearresearch and evaluation results.Introduction

. Page 26.1241.5Evolved Practices & Impact on Innovation:Reality can turn around the best of intentions. The program described above was soon modifiedwhen finding engineering instructors for the different TCUs proved to be problematic. One TCUhad an instructor identified before funding was awarded and is still part of the program. Anotherfound instructor within three weeks of funding and he participated 3 years in a number of coursesbut was caught up in some administrative changes and moved on. However, that same TCUfound a backup instructor and then a second backup instructor to help. The third TCU tookseveral months to find an instructor and he remained at the institution for one year and was luredaway by a national engineering firm in the
