]. Eachparticipant brings their image(s) and a description to an individual or small group setting, wherethey discuss each image and its meaning. At the end of the process, participants develop an actionplan to address their concerns about the study’s topic and disseminate the photographs tocommunity stakeholders [12]. Photovoice has been widely used in public health [13], but it isbecoming a popular research strategy in engineering [14]–[17].The objective of this pilot study was to explore the experiences of Black undergraduateengineering students using photovoice. The research questions guiding this work were: 1) What does it mean to be a Black student at the University of Florida? 2) What does it mean to be a Black engineering student
restructured. It seems likebelonging is a term that offices are allowed to include in their name as opposed to diversity, andalready many offices have removed or switched around the words equity and inclusion.”Karter noted that “I wouldn’t say there has been any major closures or seen any offices dissolve,but it’s been more just trying to find a way so that we are still providing the necessary resourcesand support for our students to succeed in whatever it is that they do without, I guess, reallyclearly naming it as this is for a certain group. This new legislation, it does say that we are able toprovide things for underrepresented [students]. It’s just how can we define theunderrepresented.”Morgan noted that “My particular office[’s]... mission

think I'm doing my best in doing so.While stress was mentioned as a concern, this is clearly juxtaposed with Malik’s willingness,even desire, to work strenuously for achievement in STEM if he were to choose that route. Henoted that he “really like[s] knowledge”, yet one can argue from the larger corpus of data that heis primarily interested in knowledge that leads to action.While Malik’s leadership aptitude was brought with him to the internship, the internshipcertainly foregrounded this dimension to his personality. On one occasion, I was talking withMalik and one other participant in the course of reviewing project progress. Malik referred to theother student as a “nerd”. At that point, I chose to ask Malik whether he himself identified as

For each UDL feature, instructors rated their experience (novice toexpert) on the feature and the usefulness of the feature for their students.

short and part of longer events, but the participant reflectionsfrom six months later show an effect on affective, skill-based and cognitive dimensions ofunderstanding DEI. With attention to workshop design using currently available psycho-socialand learning theory, we have the opportunity to have influence. If the message isinstitutionalized, that influence can build over time, resulting in the positive societal results thatwe hope for. Repeated reminders, experiences, and workshops will be more effective in the longterm, but this work shows that it is possible to have influence with a single training, particularlywhere what is learned is immediately put into practice.References[1] Bezrukova, K., Spell, C.
