Limiting the laboratory hands- on exercises to eight students per section improved the instructor student’s interaction and feedback. This approach aligns with research suggesting that creating a supportive, inclusive, family-like environment is particularly beneficial for Latinx students [13]. Culturally responsive teaching in HSIs emphasizes the importance of validating students' cultural

Microbiology professor at a Hispanic-serving community college in Miami, FL. As an educator, they utilized equitable teaching practices and encouraged student agency to ensure positive learning outcomes. Their first year of PhD research focused on undergraduate student perceptions of social responsibility in STEMM, with special emphasis on science communication and policy advocacy, as well as the intersection of institutional culture and transformational change towards cultivating more inclusive and equitable access for underrepresented STEMM students. They are currently exploring undergraduate perceptions of STEM mentorship within student organizations and near-peer mentorship between undergraduate student mentors and K-12

. Before coming to UWT, Dr. Pagano served as provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at Montana State University Billings. Prior to that, he spent 19 years at Purdue University, where he served as a full professor and a variety of administrative roles. In 2021, Dr. Pagano stepped down from serving as Chancellor and returned to classroom teaching to help establish the new programs in civil and mechanical engineering. Pagano has served in numerous roles across several divisions of ASEE and was named Fellow in 2006. This year he was awarded ”life-time” membership status. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 The Importance of “Place” in the Building and

first generation and low-income students [4, 5]. According to Montenegro and Jankowski [2],different students such as special needs, nontraditional, undocumented, and members of theLGBTQIA+ groups, all display specific differences and needs for learning. For underrepresentedstudents who began college in 2015, only 44% of African American students and 51% Latinxstudents completed their degrees after six years, compared to 69% of White students [6].It becomes evident that a one-size-fits-all teaching approach is ineffective. Hence a student-centered culturally responsive pedagogy is necessary for student success [7]. Culturally responsivepedagogy recognizes the need of including student’s identities and cultural references in all aspectsof

This includedgarnering industry and research laboratory positions, not only in remote locations of Alaska butalso nationally. This increase gave students more options to explore multiple areas of theirchosen STEM discipline and could help students discover more career possibilities. Internshipsare considered a way to have contact with one or more professional mentors [11]. Interns alsohave opportunities to learn from seasoned professionals, discover new areas of interest they hadnot considered, and possibly have a “foot in the door” for professional positions after graduation[11]. It also serves as a way of bringing more
