way to let students knowabout upcoming activities and offer a way to get in touch with us, the mentors. This site is knownas the BSC CyberCenter, and has been entirely designed and developed by the mentors.At this point, the site has grown to include all of these functionalities and more. We continuallyupdate the site to reflect the activities that are coming up soon, and we also use the site as a wayfor students to register for our events. The CyberCenter includes registration/accountfunctionality, so that students who register for the site can receive regular email updates aboutupcoming events and activities. Additionally, members of the site are allowed to register for allof our events before the general registration is opened.In addition

theoryduring the special session to support their reflection of their experience towards earning a PhD. Identity-trajectory was also used to help frame the analogy for the special session to support the analysis of theparticipant maps as well. Academic identity-trajectory consists of three major strands: intellectual,network, and institutional3,4. The intellectual strand refers to how a student becomes part of andcontributes to their overall academic field3. In this study, the intellectual element explores the role of theoverall disciplinary field with respect to the PhD process. The institutional strand refers to the morespecific elements of the student’s department or university3. In this study, the institutional elements willbe represented by

approach.This additional accountability and the need to structure our time increased our ownership of theworkshop while contributing to our professional graduate student development.The two authors of this paper have differing instructional approaches. During the creation of theworkshop, many obstacles regarding how to deliver the instructional material in the most effectiveway were encountered. However, our differences in teaching styles complemented each other,resulting in a more reflective practice, aware of participant needs, balanced by the need to coverall the necessary technical content. Our yin and yang approach helps both authors enhance theirexperience, culminating in an effective community building LaTeX workshop. Having a studentled seminar

The salary was not quite the level Sarai had hoped for, but given her interestin remaining in the region and her success in receiving funding for both of her requests, shedecided against negotiating for a higher salary. All in all, the negotiation workshop had, in hereyes, paid off. Without it, she reflected, she would have just accepted the verbal offer withoutarticulating what else she needed to help her succeed in this new position.Administrative Level NegotiationsCase 3: College level budget negotiationState U had just hired a new provost.

developmentcourse at colleges of engineering in the United States. The overall research question in this investigation is, how does gender and spatial skilllevel compare across object manipulation assessments? Two sub-questions reflect specificaspects of the general question: 1. Do assessments of spatial skill level correlate with one another? If so, are the correlations significant? 2. What specific gender differences exist among first-year engineering students’ spatial skill level?Procedure Data was collected across three consecutive semesters, not including the summer session.The same set of assessments, in the same order, were given to all students during normallyscheduled class time for class credit

I like, I am always in like this constant struggle…it kind of worries me but I feel like I made the right choice but I guess I will see as I progress on this. Interviewer: That is a pretty big life choice to make without all the things… Jimmy: It is! And that's why I feel weird about college all the time because we are forced to make these like life choices that are, I mean not only do they affect us for the rest of our life but they cost a lot of money upfront.Professor X also reflects back on his choice to choose a particular engineering discipline.
