The streamlined process of recruitment and project-based learning incollaboration with NASA and other aerospace professionals has shown to be effective in trainingthe first cohort of undergraduate and graduate students during the first year of programimplementation.During the summer of 2022, 6 NASA interns and 6 summer Research Experiences forUndergraduate (REU) students participated in the 10-week summer program with professionaldevelopment (PD) program featuring project management, career planning, RCR training,self-reflection, and technical communication. Because research shows that STEM students citepositive mentoring experiences as the most crucial factor in their retention, we developed

students in their academic and professional careershas become increasingly critical [1]. In previous literature on the subject of higher educationtransfer students, two categories of transfer students were identified regarding their subsequentsuccess in their careers [10, 11]. The critical difference is that students who plan the transfer beforeattending community college were more likely to succeed than those who did not plan early[18].However, even with planning, there are still factors that are imperative to transfer student successpost-transfer. Previous literature considers personal [11, 8, 9, 19] and academic factors about thesedifferences [11, 8, 9, 19]. Major factors identified in the past research include social isolation,finance

represent the interests and perspectives of a wider range of stakeholders. Findings fromFreeman and Huang (2015) suggest that diversity in inputs, as indicated by author location,ethnicity, and references, results in higher contributions to research, as indicated by citations andimpact factors. Research has also shown that networks that prioritize DEI are more likely toattract and retain talented individuals from underrepresented groups, which can enhance thenetwork's overall expertise and impact, as well creativity in work output (Lee et al., 2022;Hundschell et al., 2022). That said, there is little research that documents the planning,implementation, and evaluation of DEI principles in research networks.In 2021, the National Science Foundation

This fourth objective focuses on each Fellow developing a plan for an Implementation Project that they propose to their own leadership and subsequently launch at their own institution. Examples of these projects include Summer Bridge, Living Learning Communities, mentoring programs, tutoring programs, and transfer pathways of community college students to 4-year programs and undergraduates to graduate school. While these types of programs are not new, the goal has always been for Fellows to scale up their

to answer important questions such as: “Why is thesuccess rate of transfer students low?” and “Why do some transfer students persist to graduation,whereas many others do not?” According to the literature, transfer students fall into two categoriesthat need different kinds of guidance to succeed in a new institution [11], [12]. The first categoryof transfer students includes those who pre-plan the transfer before getting admission into a com-munity college [13], [14], [15], [16]. This category often includes students who choose to takegeneral education courses or earn an associate degree at a community college before transferringto a 4-year institution (often because of the lower cost of tuition). The second category includesstudents who do

However,participants also articulated a need for incorporating more professional development activities inthis program, especially in preparation for graduate or professional school.In terms of program implementation, the program’s staff experienced administrative challengeswhen compensating participants and with low levels of involvement from faculty mentors in thementorship workshops facilitated by the program staff.

This connection cannotbe ignored or discounted when studying the “supply” of construction managers. The Bureau ofLabor and Statistics (BLS) defines a construction manager as someone who “plan[s],coordinate[s], budget[s], and supervise[s] construction projects from start to finish” in theOccupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) [1].

This pioneering program is a collaborative effort between the Fulton Schools ofEngineering (FSE) and the College of Health Solutions (CHS), aimed at providing tailoredsupport in the form of peer mentoring, social engagement, and career readiness. Whenengineering students enroll in the EASE program and begin their college education at ASU, theyare paired with two peer mentors, one from FSE and one from CHS. The mentors first focus onthe transition to college by helping their mentees find relevant resources. Then, the mentors startprioritizing assignment organization, planning, and other executive functioning skills. Thestudents will have

. Key to theprogram was flexibility and an individualized plan for each student. The Scholar program isbeing piloted at Kansas State University; but if successful, the program may become a model forother institutions within the alliance to implement.Theoretical FrameworkThe Scholar program was informed by the Kamphoff and colleagues’ motivational andempowerment model [2]. Their model was developed to help students on academic probationand included a combination of workshop/classroom interventions and a novel advising model. Italso moved beyond looking at retention solely as a measure of success for a program butincluded the examination of changes to student attitudes, aspirations, and abilities.
