a model to enhance theexperiences of undergraduate engineering students, this paper presents information about a smallgroup seminar designed to expose undergraduate engineering students to a community of like-minded, well-rounded students. Within this seminar, students will engage in conversations withprofessionals, will connect with other engineering students who have succeeded in engineering,and will engage in leadership opportunities early in their academic careers. Led by anunderrepresented minority faculty in the band and orchestra department who served as a formerrecruiter for engineering students, this seminar provides a unique opportunity for students to (1)demonstrate uses of campus resources to enable academic success, (2

There were two roles that the graduate studentsfilled. The graduate students were essentially teaching assistants of the surveying course at thesummer camp. Along with that, they conducted various learning courses to keep the students inan academic mind set. Meaning, outside of the surveying course the graduate students wereteaching various session on pertinent math courses to help with the surveying course, statistics,MATLAB, and AutoCAD.
