new research emerges [7 - 11].Deliverable #5: Professional Learning Finally, stEm PEER Academy’s fifth deliverable is a toolbox of resources that guides Fellows’ professional development such as developing Broader Impact identities, Broadening Participation efforts, proposal development, and writing research papers. For example, stEm PEER Academy prepared an NSF-aligned proposal guideline for Fellows to use for requesting implementation funding from Engineering PLUS to launch their own Implementation Projects. The purpose of this NSF-aligned proposal exercise was to provide Fellows with a more accessible and less intimidating proposal format for developing their Implementation Project, especially if they were navigating

, and don't listen to my ideas or concerns” (Female student). “One time in a lab I was working with two white boys and when it came time to write up the lab report one of them would always give me the writing option that had no brain power, and they did everything else” (Female student).Students also reported bias in teamwork assignments within their group where they would beasked to complete less significant tasks or ignored. Consequently, students reported experiencinganxiety when working with non-Black peers on group projects because they feel stereotyped as“lazy”. To avoid this stereotype, many Black students would work harder than expected evenwhen they do not feel well because they are not afforded the same level

institutions will be presented.IntroductionVirtual mentoring is not a new practice, it has been in existence for over 20 years [5], [6] [7], [8],[9]. The online setting can seamlessly connect undergraduate students across the country withmentors, and the GradTrack program was initially started in 2021 during the COVID-19pandemic. Virtual mentoring has also been shown to increase sense of community, STEMachievement, career self-efficacy, and drive to persist in mentors and mentees [10].The GradTrack mentoring structure is a scalable group and peer mentoring model, with 2graduate student mentors from Purdue with 5-7 URM undergraduate student mentees fromacross the United States and Puerto Rico joined in a mentoring circle.

(2011) argue that postdoctoral training should include independentresearch experience, productivity in the form of peer-reviewed publications, and improvement inscholar’s skills in grant writing (Rybarczyk et al., 2011). To prepare scholars, LEGACY trainsscholars in grant creation and management, research program development, and career mapping.Additionally, as LEGACY Director, Dr. Cox works with scholars to independently brandthemselves using social and professional networks so that more people can learn about thescholar and their work.

first workshop by Lindsay Marshall was focused onhelping PhD students overcome barriers to writing their dissertation, which is a source of anxietyfor PhD students and was a topic requested by members of the program. Students learned aboutmethods to organize their writing and overcome writing blocks. Resources for PhD graduatestudents to support their thesis writing were also shared with the group. The second workshopwas on time management for the busy student offered by the UIC Wellness Center. Finally, therewas a seminar on leadership by Dr. Jarrad Hampton-Marcell on science and being competitive inSTEM. We had a seminar on how to prepare for the postdoctoral search and maximizing theexperience as part of supporting their professional

, stereotype threat, and impostersyndrome [2], [3]. The systemic racism that BLI students experience manifests through STEMcurriculums that center the experiences of white1 people and exclude minoritized populations,BLI stereotypes that assume academic incompetence, persistent microaggressions, intersectionaloppression, exclusion and isolation, and lack of representation among faculty and peers of thesame race or ethnicity [4]–[7]. Systemic racism leads to heightened stereotype threat andimposter syndrome in BLI students, by increasing the pressure to prove one's academic ability,1 We deliberately chose to capitalize the terms Black, Latinx, and Indigenous while intentionally using lowercasewhen discussing whites and whiteness. In doing so, we resist

LSAMP Scholars were also allowed to participatein BTD activities and are encouraged to apply directly to doctoral programs nationally and tocompete for Graduate Research fellowships. BTD scholars also act as peer mentors and rolemodels to undergraduate NYC LSAMP Scholars. Workshops on science and engineeringpresentations, writing workshops, the transition to graduate school, and survival skills ingraduate school are conducted by NYC LSAMP doctoral students and BTD Scholars. BTDScholars come from a variety of disciplines, have graduated from ten BA/BS degree grantingunits of CUNY, with five graduating from non-CUNY schools.Table 1.

draw upon theirLinguistic, Familial, and Social Capitals more readily when compared to non-First-Generationstudents (see Table 5). The understanding and belief that First-Generation students possessunique cultural resources to their peers are evident in many other additional studies [Verdin &Godwin, 2015] and our survey results suggest these differences are emergent in the Linguisticand Familial capitals they possess and leverage.First-Generation students readily draw upon their Linguistic Capital assets as it relates to having(and sensing importance) to speak or write about engineering in more than one language (ItemsB and H). Moreover, First-Generation students tend to agree that it is necessary to speak or writeabout engineering in more

marginalization in engineering settings, specifically focusing on students’ hiddenor non-apparent identities that their peers or professors are unaware of or maybe do not understand. Forrecruitment, we adopted an intentional nationwide strategy. We conducted 21 zoom interviews withstudents, each lasting 45 to 90 minutes and representing a variety of marginalized identity groups.As a way to establish rapport during the interview, we utilized a scaffolding strategy of showing aniceberg or identity wheel [14] containing many identities, including the concept that some identities aremore visible and/or apparent. In contrast, depending on context and person, some are less visible or non-apparent. Some prompts for all participants included: 1) How do you
