One female counselor noticed that girl campers were less confident speaking if boycampers were present and worked with another female counselor to “all show each other girlscan do it”. Two counselors were interested in applying for the job as a means of challenginginjustice by providing the camp opportunity to “students like them”. Participants spoke about nothaving such camps available when they were in middle and high school, and how they wouldhave benefited from such programs. One shared that she chose to be a counselor to be a “spark ofinspiration” for “underrepresented kids” because she “really like[s] the message”. Anothershared what it meant to him to be able to be a

For HBCUs, their success in graduating Black students in STEM washighlighted along with the missed opportunity of advancing their efforts to assist the U. S. goalof staying competitive within the STEM workforce (National Academies of Sciences,Engineering, and Medicine, 2019). For example, scholars found that HBCUs, while onlyaccounting for 3% of all post-secondary institutions in the United States, graduated 17% of allBlack students (Gasman & Nguyen, 2016). Additionally, as of 2019, 14.5% of Black graduateswere from HBCUs even though they made up less than 1% of all ABET-accredited programs(ABET, 2019; Deen, 2019; Fletcher et al., 2023).
