A case in point, onementor noted, It [is] also about understanding their experiences, and like their backgrounds and where they’re coming from, and like really integrating that into- kind of like tailoring their research journey for them, what they’re looking to get out of it, what kind of impact they’re looking to make, and integrating them into what it’s like, in everyday life [in] graduate school.Comparatively, mentees have to “think about” and be passionate about their own inquiry.

A thorough design, redesign, and review process was implemented to develop thesurvey using relevant research questions and best practices. Questions within the survey askedparticipants to report their relationship with HBCUs, their current role related to HBCUs, theirtime affiliated with HBCUs, information about the HBCU with which they were affiliated,factors impacting president/chancellor turnover, the impact of turnover on the university, andparticipant demographic information.

So, like how to navigate, I guess, how to like design the perfect meeting, if that makes sense. But from like the researcher point of view, not from the advisor point of view”GradTrack alumni want tips and tricks to break down research papers. Another area alumni feltthey would have benefited more from was the proper understanding of the best ways to readthrough and summarize research papers. Referring to this need, an alumnus commented that: “I think one of the things, especially thinking back if like I were like a younger

The experience boosted their confidence in applyingand succeeding in STEM graduate programs, with some students reporting intentions of applyingto STEM graduate programs abroad. This program prepares underrepresented minority studentsfor the growing globalization in the STEM workforce. It builds confidence in research skills andnurtures culturally sensitive individuals capable of collaborating effectively with diverse teams.This program exemplifies a transformative approach to student engagement, offering valuableinsights for those seeking to replicate its success. Through this paper, we aim to shareperspectives on best practices, providing a roadmap for others interested in

The paper will conclude with the major findings from this work and identifyavenues for future improvements of the proposed undergraduate research program.Structure and goals of the research programThe undergraduate research program (UGRP) for first-generation students is designed similar toa minority training program. The program comprised three components: a lecture series, aresearch experience, and a research conference. The program aimed to increase participation ingraduate enrollment among first-generation students and to motivate them to persist in STEMfields by pursuing a graduate degree. Thus, the research question can be stated as: • What is the impact on motivation to pursue a graduate STEM degree for

Itfound a wide variety across various aspects of SBPs, including program curriculum,administration, and participation; [3] it also identified a lack of adequate research focused onidentifying promising practices for SBP design and implementation. Another review examinedliterature (including non-peer-reviewed literature) that had been published about STEM SBPsbetween 1992 and 2016, with a focus on program goals. [4] The authors identified 14 differentprogram goals, falling into three major categories: academic success, psychosocial, anddepartmental. Another review, published in 2023, focused on SBPs serving Native Americanstudents [5] and focused on identifying guidance; that guidance

research experience, which is a well-studied, high-impact practice with strong support from the National Science Foundation(AAC&U, 2008). Undergraduate research positively affects retention in STEM (Eagan et al.,2013), particularly for URM students (NAP, 2019). Mentorship in undergraduate research spaceshas also been positively associated with students’ identity and confidence as a STEMprofessional and their sense of belonging (Byars-Winston, Branchaw, Pfund, Leverett, &Newton, 2015). Productive protégés increase the research productivity of their facultymentors. Other mentor benefits include a sense of personal fulfillment, leadership skilldevelopment, and cognitive growth (Laursen et al., 2010). It is reasonable to expect that
