lack offunding, proper equipment, lab space, and dedicated research faculty [3-5]. In addition, research is not akey component of community college educational master plans. Rather, the ultimate goal of communitycolleges is to prepare students for transfer or employment through certified technical educationprograms [6-8].Undergraduate research has proven to be a high impact practice that helps students increase theiracademic performance, build confidence, and develop critical thinking skills and STEM identity [9-11].These traits are necessary to become a successful scientist, engineer, or educator in these fields— thus itis imperative that research experiences are provided in the early stages of STEM students’ educationaljourneys [12, 13

identities across the Africandiaspora. Through this lens, we hope to highlight the impact that cultural background may haveon the transfer experience. The theoretical framework guiding this study is drawn from the STEM Transfer model andposits that the persistence of Black transfer students in engineering is a longitudinal processinfluenced by the intersection of both individual and institutional factors. We draw from theSTEM transfer model, noting that the transfer process commences during a student’s communitycollege education and continues through his/her transfer and enrollment in an engineeringprogram at a four-year institution. The following factors contribute to our conceptualization ofthis process: pre-college background, community

stillgrowing rapidly. In response, community colleges have been offering Associate’s programs incybersecurity for over a decade. The content of such programs has been driven by many factorsincluding the needs of local industry, professional certification requirements for entry-level jobs,and education advancement programs under such organizations as the National Security Agency,the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST), the National CyberWatch Center, andthe Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).A consequence of this diversity of drivers is wide variation in the types of graduates produced,which is not conducive to developing shared expectations, from prospective students to employers.In addition, as a discipline matures, creating

computer scienceprograms, and limited number of admission spots for transfer students, are two formidablebarriers to academically talented, low-income students from neighboring community colleges. This program attempts to increase retention and persistence of community collegeengineering and computer science students with support at three distinct stages: pre-transfer,during transfer and post-transfer. The program intends to do this through removing orminimizing economic barriers and supporting student development in five areas: 1) academic--via tutoring and other academic support workshops; 2) engineering transfer/career path--via
