Enrollment and DemographicsThe Contextualized Bridge was first implemented in 2019. After four (4) iterations, 202 diverseparticipants attended the Bridge. The demographic makeup of Bridge participants (Tables 2 and3) is representative of Wright College’s student body. The main discrepancy is observed in genderdemographics, as Wright College enrollment consists of more than 50% women. Thisunderrepresentation of females is consistent with national engineering enrollment trends [24].Table 2. Contextualized Bridge participants’ demographics by race and ethnicityTable 3.

Mentor Perspectives of Apprenticeships for Community College STEM CareersAbstractThe National Science Foundation’s Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Aspire Alliance hasestablished several RC (Regional Change) Collaboratives of two-year and four-year highereducation institutions, focused on preparing a diverse and inclusive future community collegefaculty. Each RC collaborative recruits graduate students enrolled at research-intensive orcomprehensive universities to participate in semester-long apprenticeships under the mentorshipof community college professors. In Texas, two of these RC collaboratives have been operatingcontinuously since 2019 with the participation of institutions that serve diverse studentpopulations from

In her work at the Center, she works to develop culturally responsive practices and increase the intentionality with which institutions work with Latinx students in STEM. She has taught First-Year Success courses at ASU since 2019. She recently graduated with her Doctorate in Education from ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College with an emphasis in Leadership and Innovation. Her research is centered on curriculum redesign, career decision-making self-efficacy, equity in education, social justice in education, and culturally responsive pedagogy. Through her research she has developed a Curriculum Interrogation Checklist through a
on-line communications, which aredistributed to the organization’s approximately 1,800 two-year college members, have routinelyincluded NSF ATE and Mentor-Connect program information along with success stories andhuman-interest articles to attract participants. A key factor in the success of this strategy has beencontracting with a professional writer who has in-depth knowledge of the NSF ATE Programalong with an existing working relationship with AACC for submission of articles for potentialpublication by the organization. In-person outreach augments print and online informationdissemination. Project personnel regularly speak at annual conferences that attract STEMfaculty; e.g., American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE), High Impact
engineering program, and over three years at a community college. Dr. O’Riordan-Adjah help develop the college’s strategic plan during his time at one of the community colleges. He is committed to aligning student learning to not only the strategic plan but also the real world, and employer needs. He understands how the college can serve students holistically by focusing on retention and student success initiatives, like improved advising, success coaching, and connections to employers. He is also an advocate of the Building and Construction Trades which provides a great opportunity for hands-on student enthusiasts. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 ASEE Annual Conference
